Nah, you're the right idiot.  Unless that wasn't your website or you forgot
the comma.

  You can't "define" something before you discover it.

True enough but you sure can give a true discovery a new name.  Using the
worn-out label of "god" is a little disingenuous.  Did you use it because it
got you attention?  If so, you're nothing but a whore.

So God was suspected?  As god has never been fully defined, you had quite a
large margin of error.

Not one for overstatement, are you?  My world didn't change at all so you
must have been wrong about it.

  Somebody said "it's probably God",

Was that before of after you were tossed out of the bar?

  End of story.

Excellent.  You're not posting again?  Wow, maybe there is a god after all!

How long did it take you to think up this comeback, genius?  Nyah-Nyah would
have been just as good.

If you can't prove causality, your hypotheses are just guesswork.  Or, as
you would phrase it, iterative stochastic approximation.  Why is it that
it's the jerks in science that like the big fancy words?

Dunno, hammie.  Why?  Do you think I believe in god?  I guess you're not
tired of being wrong yet.  BTW, idiot, you claimed to have prooved god.
Can't have it both ways.

Nah.  Must have a transition state between you and the sane.  That's all.
