• 1999 March 7, Nemo [username], “oh boy! A new GOD thread! :-)”, in alt.tv.pol-incorrect‎^[2] (Usenet):

  I don't like to see religions bashed for no better reason than they make embarassingly easy targets, and even though I can take the ribbing for a few turns, I see no reason to lie down and get stepped on just because I have a little faith in the undefinable and a few believe that equates to a vicious hatred of Darwin and/or a conviction that the world is flat. I always get angry (not wholly unjustifiably. One can only take you so many condescending "faithy" quips before the whistle blows) and wind up invalidating my own arguments.

  Some things are known thru observation, testing, etc - scientific method. Other things are known by simply knowing them - eg: I exist here and now.

  I can go along with your statements of faith and your warm toasty feelings, but to say that questioning all this is dishonest, whereas believing all of it hook, line, and sinker is honest, I must object.
