Avoid vaccines, …
Avoid vaccines, they contain mercury, aluminum, MSG, aspartame, formaldehyde, squalene etc that cause diseases like ADD, autism, Lupus, Gulf War syndrome, Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, asthma, arthritus, depression etc. Now the WHO is pushing 4.9 billion H1N1 vaccines to be made & used throughout the world..hmm

What do I need …
What do I need faith for?
What do I need blessings for?
Why would I believe without seeing, when I could have evidence instead?

What’s tragic about requesting evidence and not being credulous?

“It’s only news to …
“It’s only news to me if it’s supported by evidence which EXPLAINS HOW”!!!

Hmmm…I see the problem. You are lacking in FAITH.

“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” is probably the best prescription I can provide for you at this point.

Aside to audience —> What’s sad is I think this poor Entinlude X fellow is actually PROUD of the fact that he is lacking in faith.

Tragic, huh?

It’s only news to me if it’s supported by evidence which EXPLAINS HOW. Otherwise it’s just rumor, conjecture, or hearsay.

So again, 2000 year old guy raised from the dead? How?

Oh please, explain what elaborate obfuscation you’d have to go through to draw parallels between a 2000 year old dead Jewish rabbi, liberal or conservatism, and this advancement in technology.

God doens’t heal blind person, so man does it, and god gets the credit anyway? ROFL.
