> [@Ramira](#): > > because you completely are unable to comprehend the difference between statements and ‘predictions’ about human action and ‘prediction’ about a physical event 100% outside the realm of human action. It shows such a complete lack of any reasoning ability so to be truly amazing in the level of stupidity. But it is expected from you. (although your sad and drunk bumbling attempts to insult by using the worn-out bumper sticker phrase insults are in keeping with the low and weak intelligence you display) Listen dummy, this is typed extra slow, just for you. The key is not what the action is or who or what the actor is the key is whether or not one is predicting or advocating. Do you not understand simple verbs? Do they not teach you that at your English for dummies class? You can’t be this dense you must be to paraphrase another poster who accused the OP of trolling before this thread was pitted “casting bait behind a slow moving boat.” It’s baffling that people read this poorly and have the gall to insult their betters. Maybe speech needs prudent regulations like firearms. ---

So, Blinky, what are you, personally, doing to defeat the radical Christianists among us? Or do you admit that they are “the strong side”? ---
