Emotion is an integral part of the human experience. Even in decisions where people fool themselves into thinking they are being objective, the emotions are engaged. I don't see why it is necessary to demand non-emotional evidence for the truth of religious claims. Some of the biggest benefits of religion are emotional ones.

After reading your last 40-50 posts, I STILL have no idea what you are trying to offer, what it is that you stand for, or why you are so utterly determined to die on this hill.
Completely bizarre, scattered, and extremely accusatory. (in my opinion)

The only benefits of religion are emotional.
It's when they spout their emotional beliefs as facts or evidence of facts is when it veers off into the surreal.

Peace, Ceeboo
I don't sleep much on my first night off, maybe about three/four hours, but I make up later.
I made my "offer" to Dr. Shades, or, if you will, my solicited advice. If English is your first language, you should have no problem understanding what I wrote.

I know you hate being challenged by brighter minds.
That's been obvious for a long time. You just love to "hold the floor", with the backing of your like minded mobs. Kill other opinions before they get a fair hearing. Brand them "unworthy of serious consideration". That's your "science".
You could start you're own board, with your rules and board guidelines and your determination of who can join.
Bingo!
