First of all science is not in the business of replacing non sense beliefs.

Irrational beliefs are just that.

As to your assertion "Well, if science is so much more than religion or mysticism, why is it that science has not offered you a release from suffering…since all I have read from all of your words, in every one of your post, is hostility and a cantankerous disposition to the opinions of others. Science has imprisoned you in frustration...for what?"

I have never heard so much self satisfied drivel. I am not unhappy with myself. I find when the idiotic ignorant try to lead the rest of the ignorant down a blind path with their simple platitudes, this is what grates against my mindset.

I spent many years teaching PhD students in the finer points of our craft and many of them are now employed in the best Universities and Research Institutes.

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how deluded it is.

If you think I need an invisible friend to round out my life you are even further deluded. The smartest Jesuit priests lost that battle long ago.

I am not getting into a slanging match with anyone that thinks the undetectable is real. It is even worse when they quote ancient scriptures written by people that would think it was a miracle to converse on line.

I come from a place where rational criticism is assumed and encouraged.
