Your statement appears to say that you know what reality is. How do you know what is reality? John, Barry loves to seek out in others what he deems is weakness and feeble-mindedness. If he can'f find such a thing he attributes false characteristics to others in order to make himself feel superior. He is banking on the fact that most of us here might just believe in God or other such supreme intelligence or entity. He then proceeds to try and make these people feel stupid and inadequate for doing so. Nonsense. Barry merely says generalized things about generalized idiots, and then allows *them* to "self-identify" *as* idiots by getting their buttons pushed and becoming totally reactive. Works every time. :-) Why bother to say much about such people, when all you have to do is push their buttons and allow them to *prove* the generalized things you would have said? Do less, accomplish more. :-) Seriously, how could anyone take someone who flies into a rage and gets all defensive about such a tiny thing as *belief in God* seriously? It's like a demonstration of feeble-mindedness, and how much the "defender of God" really uses the concept of God as a crutch. Insult the crutch by denying its existence, and the lame get...uh...even lamer. :-) Hint to the "God defenders" here -- spend a little time around *real* believers, as opposed to poseurs such as yourselves. People with real faith never get angry and reactive when someone challenges it. Only people with faux faith do that. Read some G.K. Chesterton and lighten up. P.S. for Bhairitu: If you're still following "The Following," have you noticed how much like FFL it is? Emma pretty much maps to one of the cult followers here, except that she's...uh...attractive and her FFL counterpart is decidedly not, and Lily maps almost perfectly to Ann -- spoiled little rich girl who reacts to rejection by becoming a vindictive drama queen. Just sayin'...
