LOL!!! So people you have never met and don't know a damn thing about say
they were abducted by aliens. To begin with we have no strong reason to
disbelieve them not knowing the people or whether or not aliens ever abduct
anyone. But then YOU say no they were not, and then we're supposed to put faith
in that and consider YOU saying "no" as "evidence" against what they said
happened to them...LOL.........and also feel that it's "common sense" to put
all
our faith in YOUR claim...LOL... As usual, just describing you peoples'
position
is AGAIN HILARIOUS!!!!
