...and thus, it's not an exaggeration to say:

If evidence is declassified supporting this it seems we owe a lot of apologies to a lot of people who were written off as kooks.

Sheesh, I'm quite sure it was just a lighthearted comment by @DarkGamer, and folks are going all "Well ackshully" about it.

I guess we have to agree to disagree here.

Good point, and if Jesus showed up at the superbowl with Prince's guitar we'd owe a lot of apologies to a lot of Kid Rock fans who were written off as Kid Rock fans ;)

...and thus, (cringe) That's not an exaggeration either, it's just completely asinine, like babbling about 'ancient astronaut theory'. So don't get so upset when strangers point out that it's asinine.

It would be an appropriate comment if we'd just had a congressional hearing about Jesus showing up at the superbowl with Prince's guitar, but since we haven't I don't see how your analogy really works.

I'm done with this - you folks are clearly more invested in tearing down a cute comment from another poster than I am in defending it. Please enjoy your breakfast of bitterness and bile.

I love when people throw a little tantrum that they're 'done'. People that are really 'done' don't have to fuss to anonymous strangers about how done they are ;)

It would be an appropriate comment if we’d just had a congressional hearing about Jesus showing up at the superbowl with Prince’s guitar

The comment is a perfectly valid comparison- we have congressional hearings about religious nonsense all the time. The Prince\Kid Rock part was a goof but are you seriously unaware of how often Jesus and 'Gods will' are cited in congressional session?

So if you heard religious kookery in a hearing and then said 'Well, if God really did bring that hurricane to punish gays it would change humanity's relationship with religion and science' - that would be a deeply, stupidly, asinine statement. So it's just like you adding your half-cent to the UFO kookery. Not sure you can follow that but thought I'd lay it out for you just in case.

Dude, we are well and thoroughly done here.

Do you really not get how silly it is to say "I'm done" and then show up again to say "I'm done"?

It's okay if this subject is over your head and you want to leave, you can just go.
