       That seems obvious enough that everyone should be able to comprehend, but   
   he   
   can't figure it out.   
      
   >However, I will say that a god believer looks pretty silly scoffing at the   
   paranormal, since many people have had personal experiences which they think   
   justify those beliefs.   
      
       Agreed.

       Neither am I. Neither is he. But there are people who are in that business   
   and I've never seen any of their definitions that agree with the idiocy I   
   showed   
   you.

       Neither does he. He can't even attempt to explain how he thinks he could   
   possibly have found out, though he has lied and said he explained it in the   
   past. Though he has told that particular lie he can't make any attempt to back   
   it up.
