8. They are very sad people

This group is so welcoming & accepting. I just can't imagine what it would be like to live with a mind so small & narrow, like those who dismiss what we post here as "woo" or vehemently insist that there is no God/Higher Power simply because there isn't enough "proof" for THEM (and you know, there never will be enough proof).

I can guess which group you're talking about. One of them likes to stalk me around DU & post crap responses....she's a vindictive bully who attacks others "just because", then plays the victim card, posting GBCW stuff when people wise up to her, then sneaks back to DU. God I hate that shit.

But I like this group. I will admit, some of the stuff posted here sounds "far out" to me, but if it works for the people who post it, who am I to argue? I've got enough weird ideas of my own (like the little people hiding stuff from me until I ask the cats where it is....I guess they're scared of the cats or something.....)

eta: I remember about 2 years ago, the History Channel had a program on the Shroud of Turin. Someone posted about it in GD or the Lounge (which is how I found out about it) & asked if anyone else was going to watch it because they wanted to discuss it & see if the science & methods used held up. (I think it was called "The Face of Jesus" or something like that.)

O.M.F.G. you would not believe the flamewar that erupted over that! Just the *idea* that people wanted to *discuss* the Shroud (not advocate that it is what it is claimed to be or isn't, just discuss the findings, which were pretty amazing) was too much for that crowd. Unfortunately, in the end, no one was able to discuss what we saw at all, thanks to the narrow-minded "scientific" crowd.
