Oh brother, never mind.

And here I actually thought you had something interesting to
say. You believe in demons? Proper medication can take care of
that. I suggest going to a qualified mental health practioner.

And I suggest you shut your trap unless you're qualified to
make statements like that. You could be sued, you know!

Try it.

Not worth it. Your comments aren't costing me anything and in THIS
civilized country they would have to before I could do it. That

doesn't

mean I can't or won't take other measures.

So you make a threat, back down, then make another threat.
Unfortunately for you, nothing she's said would constitute grounds for
a lawsuit. Threats, on the other hand, often do.

Simply put, your disbelief in things does not make those things
go away.

And your belief in something doesn't make it real. Deal with it.

I AM dealing with it, pillock!

By spreading the joy, apparently.

You rant and rail at creationists who act like they do and
then turn around and practise the same kind of fundamentalism.

Hate to break it to you, but I don't rant and rail at
creationists. Your mental problems are none of my concern.

Neither are yours any concern of mine.

That must be why you're keeping your patented demon-hunting methods
secret, hmm? That lack of concern?

And that's why they are taking over your country.

LOL - You wish.

They are a bigger threat than you seem to think. They certainly
WANT to take it over.

Are you talking about demons or republicans?

On what grounds?

On the grounds that falsely imputing insanity to someone in a public
venue is an act of slander.

I believe you'd have to demonstrate malicious intent. On the other
hand, insane people are known to claim they can see and hear all sorts
of undetectable stuff, so extrapolating from that that you might be
insane is merely an act of observation. I don't believe that would be
classified as slander.

But, as I said, in this country, slander is
not actionable unless there is a financial loss and you don't have a
prayer (or unprayer or whatever you use with your non-deity) of doing

that to me. But I don't know where you live. It might be possible

to

sue in the USA. The whole country is litigation obsessed.

Hey, some people think that's what brought Rome down. Do you

suppose???

Lawsuits? No, I don't suppose.

Simply put, your disbelief in things does not make those things go

How is asking for evidence of your unsupported assertions similar

to

fundamentalist creationism? Creationists refuse to present any

It isn't. I respect your right to ask. Now respect my right to

decline.

I am not, however, like the creationists, insisting that you teach
anything in your public schools (or anywhere else for that matter).

You made the comparison. If you refuse to offer evidence, don't be
offended when people don't believe you.

objectively verifiable evidence; you refuse to present objectively
verifiable any evidence. They claim to have ultrasupersecret

revealed

knowledge; you claim to have ultrasupersecret revealed knowledge.

They

are easily refuted; you are easily refuted.

Actually, I'm not easily refuted.

Of course not, because you refuse to present any evidence for your
unsupported assertion. Therefore, your assertion is dismissed as
unsupported.

People like you have been trying for a long time now.

You mean people who don't accept your word?

The best they can manage is to claim that I lie about my
experiences and am delusional.

Maybe they're just calling a spade a spade. Consider that you might
actually be delusional. How would you know? You summarily dismiss

people who question you as "refusing to accept the reality," and refuse
to present any evidence for examination. You appear to be attempting
to protect yourself from having to confront the possibility that what
you think you've experienced has taken place only in your mind. It
isn't unheard of.

Of course that's what they MUST claim,
since they refuse to accept the reality.

Reality is shared. Rational people don't see demons. Maybe it's you

who is refusing to accept the reality. Is there any valid reason
anyone should believe your claims other than your desire they do so?

And that's why they are taking over your country.

Who? Creationists? They're just vocal.

Very vocal and way too influential in certain political circles, if

you

ask me.

I agree. That doesn't mean they're taking over the country.

Yes, actually I would. Demon-hunting is not a sport for
amateurs. If you want to discuss it further (in email, not
here), then you will need to present some credentials.

Why? What possible benefit, other than avoiding the probable
exposure of some mundane cause of some probably mundane event,
could there be to keeping what you think you observed secret?

I think he probably doesn't want to be made fun of.

He doesn't need to worry about that anymore.

Who cares where devout idiots get their jollies, anyway? *I*

certainly

have better things to worry about.

The state of your mental health leaps to mind. You're obsessed with
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, aren't you?
