Stardate 3572: I’ve been floating in space now for over 1500 years. It’s very lonely, and I’m being kept alive by drugs developed back on Planet Earth during the Obama administration - one is called “Audacity” and the other is called “Hope”. It’s all that keeps me going. The last living person I saw was named Josh, but he died about 750 years ago. But I have an imaginary friend - I call him “SkepticX”. I sense him lurking in the space craft - but I know that he is not real. But I need for him to real, because if he is not, I will lose my mind!!!!!! But maybe I’ve already lost my mind?! If I only had someone who was sane to tell me what the truth was!! But maybe they’ve lost their minds too!! Maybe it’s all a giant conspiracy put together by aliens. Maybe SkepticX is among them, but, he’s imaginary, but, is he really, but, but, but, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

When two men of science disagree, they do not invoke the secular arm; they wait for further evidence to decide the issue, because, as men of science, they know that neither is infallible. But when two theologians differ, since there is no criteria to which either can appeal, there is nothing for it but mutual hatred and an open or covert appeal to force.

SkepticX here.

You know damned well that I am real because if I wasn’t you wouldn’t be around to ponder the question. You’d have gone bonkers and opened the airlock without a spacesuit on centuries ago.

Now here this you ungrateful, unfaithful doubting Thomas, as soon as you stop believing in me I’m going to let you go insane so you’ll open the airlock. Then we’ll see whose real around here.

Goodnight

I have not visited this forum in a while and I actually clicked on the wrong line and ended up here today. I am sorry for that. I am sorry I saw this thread, and I am sorry to see that Bruce really is a nut job, or he has a drinking problem, or possibly both.
