115. Oh please. To some degree? i.e., you want it both ways.

Either there's evidence to back up his claims or there's not. There's no middle ground here when it comes to extraordinary claims. After all this time, there's not one verifiable shred of evidence that any of his ramblings or those like him before or since are true.

And honestly, I don't care a wit what you think about me. Since you're a disembodied entity on the internet, as am I, what we think personally about each other is kind of irrelevant. But I do find it interesting you feel the need to throw that in. Also interesting is you didn't take the bait on the difference between Cayce believers and Evangelicals. How about Jehovah's Witnesses then?

Also, am I going to get the last post or are you? Now THAT'S a good question. I think I'll cede that you.
