I have no problem looking in the mirror. I see the reflection of someone 
who seeks truth rather then fantasy and doesn't compromise for the sake 
of conformity.

What is it that you have against genuine knowledge and intelligence? Why 
would you deliberately accept falsehoods? Is it laziness? Complacency? 
I've spent my lifetime learning and studying. I've rejected a lot of 
conventional "knowledge" along the way because it doesn't stand up under 
examination. I am not easily intimidated by the likes of you who use 
false bluster and posturing to deride those who have taken the genuine 
effort to seek true knowledge. You are out of your league, but like the 
little boy who thinks he will lose face if he backs down in a schoolyard 
brawl you would rather have your butt kicked then admit that you are
wrong.

Why don't you discuss the real issues that I brought up in the first 
place rather then just knocking the presentation? I am fairly certain it 
is because you realized very quickly that you can't even begin to handle 
the subject based on your own studies or else you would have attacked 
the message rather then the messenger. And you wouldn't have needed to 
use profanity and vulgarity along the way. Something I still haven't had 
to resort to.

Or do you just prefer name-calling because you don't possess sufficient 
intellectual capability to deal with the issue itself? I'm guessing that 
your lambast answer will be sufficient to let everyone else know your 
choice since you really don't have a choice at all. You can only go with 
what you know - apparently.
