I don't forgive you for constantly posting psychotic crap. You, and people like you, whatever their religion, are the reason this planet is screwed up. The only reason you are still on SI is because a majority of rational people think it's fair to let every nutball in the world say what he wants under the First Amendment...... .......Tolerate diversity, or get the hell out of the way. Amen!!

Hi TLC, I'm afraid that the vitriol from Emile is what we have to suffer in order to participate on the internet - to my mind "the last free place on earth." If we took away his right to post, where would we draw the line? Also, perhaps there is a positive in all of this that people of his ilk can be readily refuted and shown for what they are - bigots. There is of course a point where people like him are simply ignored. Also, having people of intelligence on these threads helps those of us who sometimes post "strange stuff" get a well-deserved rebuttal now and then. I love the internet because it helps us arrive at the truth better than any other existing medium of exchange. You can bet that the media moguls and "statesmen" would love to see this place "brought under control." I for one hope that never happens. FWIW Andy

"Tolerate diversity, or get the hell out of the way." It is so heart warming to know that you are a champion of tolerance and diversity. But tolerance of what? And diversity with whom? The American values of intellectual freedom and freedom of speech are dear to the hearts of most Americans. Our Christian founding fathers had the wisdom to know that a free and unshackled exchange of ideas holds the key to truth. These values of intellectual freedom and freedom of speech are products of the Gospels and the New Testament. There was a very good reason for this. Jesus and the Apostles were always intimidated by the rabbinical authorities and Pharisees to "stop speaking openly" about what they believed. A corrupt establishment and a hidden power need shackles on free speech and intellectual freedom if they are to continue in their illegal power. Jesus and most of the Apostles were eventually killed by the defenders of the corrupt establishments for simply speaking the truth. When men desire to stop other men from expressing their ideas, there is always a hidden agenda. The truth, however, always triumphs because once kindled in the human heart it cannot die. Somehow I can see you in the front of the crowd screaming Crucify him, Crucify him, and all in the name of "tolerance for diversity"
