> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by eli\_the\_fanatic \* > \*\*You can’t have a great debate about angels, psychic powers, or any other dumb nonexistent phenom. It’s the kind of crap indulged in by uneducated rubes who buy tabloids and watch 12 hours of network television a day. \*\* We all know this board is about fighting ignorance. Obviously, it’s not about fighting arrogance, since there is plenty of it coming from those of you here who would say something like that. Seems to me GD is about the stuff that cannot yet be proven or disproved. If you can’t get that through your thick skull, well I feel sorry for you. ---
