**Off Topic** First my apologies to the members of this thread, for rudely intruding, however I could not help myself, besides it is a weekend and I hope some tolerance will benefit me. Now to the subject at hand: Re: SJB In doing my weekly review of various threads, including the Morons thread, I saw your nomination. What intrigued me was the fact that you managed to make this "honorary" degree in your first day as poster of this illustrious and infamous SI board. Congratulations Sire!, it must be quite an achievement. So, I decided to "research" you. I must admit that you deserve the nomination and more. Reading your posts, and some of the responses made to the same, it is extraordinary that characters like you actually do exists, and they are not only the product of the mind of a drugged Hollywood film maker. Since a lot has already being said in the responses to your posts, including, but not limited to , your spelling prowess, (in spite of your so-called "education"), I simply would like to add in reference to your Bible pushing that you have been making here and there in you posts, the following, choice thoughts. Unfortunately they are not my words, but those of Mr. Henry Louis Mencken, a favorite of mine, and worry not, I do not hide behind Mr. Mencken, I believe every word he says on the subject, he just deserves the credit, since he said it first. So Mr. SJB, with no further delay, here it is, enjoy it, as it is for you: "Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing." "Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable." "The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails." Psychotherapy: "The theory that the patient will probably get well anyhow, and is certainly a damned fool." And Finally, I believe he said this thinking about you.... "Nature abhors a moron." Have a nice weekend. Z.
