mean YOUR knowledge is better than anyone else's. I've seen you state this over and over.

Easter Bunny or a god, equal amounts of proof, but you choose one over the other. And offer no reason why you made such a choice.

Then the questions I ask, met with your continuous aggressive personal assaults upon the person that asked the questions. But no desire to answer? Interesting!

I know absolutely NOTHING, and all I do is ask questions as a way of finding something to know. Most of the time, the best answers I get about knowledge are from science, the worst from religious folks. But I leave the option open, if religion can come up with some knowledge, (I kind of doubt it), then I will be there, but so far, the worst answers and the most evasions to the questions I ask come from religious folks.
