Last look...this is the Christian section of the forum?

Dude #1: I wanna talk about Bigfoot!
Dude #2: Sweet. What do you know about him?
Dude #1: I dunno, it just sounds cool...and he's OUT there, man!
Dude #2: I guess I don't know much about it either...not much to discuss, is there?
Dude #1: Guess not, dude. Later, yo!
Dude #2: Yeah, man! Later!
I'm still wondering about what you are trying to say here?! I mean really now....God and Bigfoot? Wouldn't this be akin to calling a mannequin an atheist?

And how do YOU test? By saying "I know"? Even if you don't [really]? Or, in light that you never tried something yourself?
But, as long as the "personally unproven" experience/experiment doesn't envolve God.... thats fact?!
In other words: you are willing to take unproven "scientific" theory and concepts as (pardon the pun) gospel... yet religious theory and concept is dead wrong! Hypocristy?

Three people does not a jury make. [as I said to you before] That is why I don't like to use "analogies". But, it is handy...right Sasquach?
