You are a sick man because in a post where you try "explain" why  
you're not a racist, even though you like to tell racist jokes, you  
close with a "joke" about the military murdering the (black) President  
of the United States.

But you're a "Christian" and not a racist and (presumably) "pro- 
American." Holy crap! How do you nuts get away with this junk? And why  
isn't everyone concerned that a local Moscow church promotes such  
hateful rhetoric?

Do you realize that your whole world view rests on the hope that  
logicians know nothing about reasoning, biologists know nothing about  
the origin of life, etc.? It is hard to climb out of the irrational  
hole you're put yourself in, brother. There is really nothing for you  
to hold onto other than your own arrogance.
