Yes, even though they have not yet replied to me (being Sunday), I will indicate that fact to the board when they do, which will likely be tomorrow.

What makes you (all poopers) Think that you all would not have been in the crowd that mocked Columbus, demand Galileo's death, told the wright bros they should stick to fixing bikes???

Look at HOW you dismiss what I said... You take what is known and understood about the world and like every group i mentioned wrongly assumed that Humanity has complete mastery and understanding of the subject being discussed... (which they did till those men changed the world around them.. But you like the rest equip with nothing else you make proclamations concerning thing you can not understand. declare the world to be 'flat.'

Now honestly ask yourself if you are not willing to consider anything you do not already accept, how will you ever grow? How is this considered to be an 'open mind?'

Thing is, you're the one multiplying entities beyond necessity and slitting the throat of your proposal on the sharpest edge of Occam's Razor. Ok, let's entertain your what-if for the sake of discussion - how do you suggest we set about investigating it so as to remove ambiguity and determine the truth?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

To generalize this discussion beyond the little girl, do you believe that individuals who are "hearing voices" should seek medical treatment?

For fuck's sake, Drich, we're talking about a little girl hearing a voice telling her to kill herself, and her parents asking for prayer (which has never been proven to actually work) instead of seeking proper intervention... and worse, imposing their own, at best, mislead beliefs, only reinforcing the voice she's hearing.

You never cease to amaze me. 

Fucking vile.

Facebook likes and posting 'Amen' over 100,000 times?

I'd trust psychologists and appropriate medical bodies with considered monitoring and medication to be a greater proponent for change than begging an entity to intervene...

An open mind does not mean accepting any total gibberish than some random person tells you. Science, medicine and psychology work on evidence, reasoning and results. Not by listening to unqualified people ramble on about their delusions.

In that case, I'll expect Facebook 'Amens' to provide me with £1m by 5pm tonight.

Start now.

RE: 9-year old girl hearing voices of the Devil.
Is "being talked to by the devil" a falsifiable concept? Is there a test for it? Has it got any basis whatsoever in reality?

We dismissed what you said because rather than changing how we view the solar system or seeking new ways to travel you're adjusting your tin foil hat and screaming that the moon is cheese.
