My poll is for investigation, Your "Fuck off" is an insult to the rational mind. I do not portray myself as an atheist, such labels are ridiculous. My SingSongy manner is in my blood, I can not change this. If I have offended you with my beliefs I am sorry that you are so narrow-minded you can't see that I am merely conducting an investigation and your hatred towards the poll context is the cherry on top of the stupid cake.
You just proved my point.
You just proved my point.

I can't hear it rolling around if you fake you pushed it. I can't touch it, taste it, or smell it. You prove it's there. Duh.
Are you equating an apple to a fictitious deity? Sorry, that is a very bad analogy....

With all due respect, abandoning intellect for self-contentedness is the epitome of lazy stupidity and is the furthest thing away from the scientific method, you can only succeed in science with sufferage and sacrifice, quite the same as religion, only with different results.
