LOL...or maybe put him in a coma. Most amusing is that he likes to think of
himself as being able to consider such possibilities:
"Aaaaarrrrghhhhh! I have written, at least ten times, in various posts, that
I believe it is likely that there are very, very advanced creatures in the
universe with abilities that would seem miraculous and god-like to us. The
idea is not new to me. Why the hell do you claim that I believe the exact
opposite? I must insist that you distinguish between Biblical God and
Advanced Alien God." - Malte Runz
"Don't you read what I actually write? God as an alien is NOT a new concept
to me. It's roughly 40 years since I first heard of Erich van Dänekin and
all that crap. Don't think you're ahead of me in that department." - Malte Runz
but he has shown that he's "able to consider" such things about as well as a
frog is able to consider whether or not humans have truly walked on the moon.
