Seriously, though, I think reason is the process of getting all your ducks in a line. That doesn't mean you have enough ducks, though, or the right kind.
ARE YOU SAYING GOD IS A DUCK?

God is that duck than which no greater can be imagined, i.e., a mallard.

You can't expect reason from the unreasonable be it the enlightened with their faith or a gun nut with the 2nd amendment they are so hard wired to their particular sense of reason that the most thoroughly conceived argument will be dismissed
Speaking on 2nd amendment I'd ike to see more people march or protest so Islamic women have the right to bare arms.

Hi All,

I found this URL in my server logs, and see that I've become famous, or perhaps infamous, or maybe just fatuous. In any case, here I am available to be yelled at in person. :-)

If there's still interest in this thread, your questions, comments and challenges most welcome. Thanks to whateverist for making the introduction.
