My first comment about this thread, formed as a question: does anyone
else find this sort of sniping childish, and more than a little bit
tiresome?  My second comment: would you kindly attack the substance of
Mr. Paul's study, rather than his reputation?  I don't remember the
Latin which describes this type of fallacious logic; maybe Nick can
help me out here.  Lastly, in what way is Mr. Paul a "shill" for
atheism?  Does he in any way disguise his atheism?  If not, then is
Billy Graham a shill?

I don't know whether Mr. Paul or Billy can be described as "shills,"
but I could certainly describe you as "shrill."  What is it about
Ralph Nielsen that gets your hackles up?  I might find it funny, if it
wasn't so unpredictable, and, well, rather unseemly among us putative
adults.
