Funny how I could go on infinitely replying to your attacks on my
character, my intelligence, my manners, etc. =A0I won't waste my time,
or yours. =A0I am writing this final post for those who actually raised
valid criticsims. =A0I thank those who at least debated with me in a
considerate manner. =A0For the rest, the majority of you have never had
to pay one dime for spam. =A0So if you compare it to having someone pooh
on your carpet and steal your car, this just means you have led a
pretty fortunate life and nothing really bad has ever happened to
you. =A0Hyperbole looks great on the screen, but doesn't actually prove
anything. =A0The internet is a public place. =A0Spam can be compared to a
guy who tries to hand you a pamphlet on the street. =A0He could be
selling you a topless bar or Jesus. =A0Would you beat that guy up?
Would you say that his presence, his activities were like theft, or
vandalism? =A0No, you would simply walk away. =A0And as I have now
replied, three times, to your comments, this means that I did not spam
you so this part of our conversation is entirely irrelevant.

Why can't I pay you for participating in my experiement? =A0Two
reasons. =A0I don't make 365, 000 dollars a year. =A0The second is, if I
were to pay you, the results wouldn't be objective. =A0Why would you
want to take part in such an experiment? =A0Because it could increase
your general level of happiness.

(a few) Links about scientific studies of happiness, which as you can
see, is a scientific field of some interest-

couldn't find the original study online)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_national_happiness

This last link contains the story on which I base my claim that
religious people are happier than those who are not.

in National Geographic, November 2005, and contains, I believe
original research. =A0The article is about longevity, and the places in
the world where people live the longest. =A0It concludes that there are
many factors to longevity, but the main factors are diet, mental
attitude (i.e. happiness) , and spiritual participation of some sort.

As you can see, I have really thought about this.

=A0My system is based
on science and I am looking for people to test it.
Of course, as such an experiement has never been done before in
history, I can understand your reservations. =A0I am genuine and I am
not a con. =A0If I said to you my system works, you should try it and
you'll be happier, that would be a con, because I have no idea whether
it works or not.

In conclusion, if you want to be a part of the first scientific study
of a spiritual system, contact me. =A0If not, good luck with your
endeavors.

Cleaning carpets costs an arm and a leg.

You still don't get it, do you? Here's an experiment for ya....go over
to soc.african.american and say you can help black folks learn to
swim. Use the n-word when you do it.

It's not just the spam, it's the *insult*. There is no `empty space'
where my religion used to be. I need nothing to "replace" it. The
insinuation that someone cannot be happy or healthy without some sort
of "spiritual" mumbo-jumbo is insulting to people who've outgrown such
nonsense.

Great, I'll send you all mine if you like, I get between 20,000 and
30,000 a month.

Yes it does. If there was no spam then AOL has estimated it could charge
$5/month less for connectivity per user.

Let's cut to the chase. Are you looking for money?

Why doesn't somebody start a religion in which the leaders give the
adherents money? It would be a natural. They'd have worldwide
domination in a matter of weeks!

Maybe you're on to something. Instead of whinging about atheists, why
don't they try giving us money? Their other "arguments" (HAHAHHAAA!)
aren't getting them anywhere, and they seem hell bent on having us
believe them. Maybe we can be bought...it's worth a try.- Hide quoted text=
