I can totally agree with this. The problem, for me, starts when Mike began with the gravity bullshit, and about "impossible" things happening. (Friendly reminder: impossible things don't happen. If they actually do happen, then they weren't impossible to begin with, or circumstances changed to make it possible. Just because you don't think something is possible, doesn't make it so.) The power of prayer and meditation and things of that nature, that can be some amazing stuff. Its all the bullshit used to justify it that can be irritating, and Mike when straight into bullshit-mode in this thread. Cut and paste stories from the bio section of a gambler's strategy book and tell me I can't refute it? Go fuck yourself with that asinine bullshit. And then you try to sell me on how the "truth" is being covered up by the mainstream and how Mike's God's getting a bad rap from society and how his mystical truth is as true and concrete as the stuff we can actually prove, he just knows it is, hell it must be look at what happened to Doyle and his family and the "incurable" cancer and a Doctor (Good Lord, a Doctor for christ's sake) said it was a miracle from God so it must be...

Mike claims to be very intelligent, yet time and again, he makes quite long, rambling posts that defy you to believe his intelligence. Much like God himself, I guess, Mike's intelligence must be taken on faith, rather than actual proof.
