Quote:Faith: belief based on authority rather than proof.

Of course,'faith' is also a synonym for 'superstition'. A perception constantly reinforced by reading some of the more idiotic posts of some of the more severely disturbed apologists here. (EG Undeceived, Drich, Catfish,GC) Angel Cloud

OK, I can no longer read Drich or Catfish,as I have them both on ignore, but can still read the frustrated responses of others.

LOL!

It would seem that someone now has an obsession with me. I wonder how many more posts from him will mention my name...

woohoo! I'm famous!
