   I have a deep seated skepticism of the word "revealed."   
   Now, if evidence were PRESENTED to me, that ANY supernatural thing   
   existed, and if it was something that hasn't been debunked repeatedly   
   for the past 300 years, I'd say there was something that needs   
   discussing.   
      
   But I've seen this sort of post many times before, "herr doktor." To me   
   it means that you're tired of being laughed at when you try to talk to   
   skeptics about whatever it is that seems convincing to you. That, poor   
   dope, is a personal problem of yours. I can't be held responsible for   
   your feelings of inferiority.

   Yeah... we're imperfect. Who would have thunk that?

   You seem to think it's a character flaw. I think it is the seed of our   
   greatness that we are always wanting to strive for greater things. You   
   go ahead, toss aside the greatest part of your nature and be "satisfied"   
   with whatever lies you've swallowed. We'll carry on with our quest for   
   better things and leave you to play in the dust of your chosen myths.
