"Those who talk (and talk and talk) don't know... those that know.... don't (need to) talk."

Loquaciousness does not predict intelligence or knowledge. It may, however, earn one several hundred thousand dollars per speaking engagement! <gg> Something for you to consider once you've completed your course in remedial spelling... <ggg>

"OTOH, you endlessly chronicle over and over various examples of the (same) shortcomings of religions"

Mainly, I respond to repeated attempts of the superstitious and the credulous to deny their credulity and religious fanaticism while insisting that (for example) "Jesus" was a great mystic--blah, blah, blah.

"not unlike some scragly character on a street corner with an "End is Near" sign in his hand"

You probably mean "scraggly". You should be aware however that "doomsday" performers through the ages have often been anything but "scraggly". Often, they are dashing and charismatic and sometimes quite erudite.

Of course, your suggestion that I preach a doomsday scenario is idiotic pique and ignorance on your part. I have never believed or preached any armageddon type of apocalypse. The future is unknown. We create it as we go. People have the basic choice to be helpful or hurtful to others--both intra and inter species. And they have the basic choice to embrace mindless superstition or courageous rationality.

"you might be right... wdfdik."

Good point!
