- You're blithering every time you iterate this soundly
- disproved claim that science and religion are utterly
- orthogonal in their philosophies and methodologies;
- perhaps you could at least come up with two topics
- that really are orthogonal, or are you going to claim
- that religion and physics are the only two which are?
-
- It's downright silly, it is.

- Horseshit.
-
- It begins with the base postulate that a diety exists. There
- is no religion that lacks this epitome of all axioms.
-
- Here you depart from all semblance of reason, and I
- will not humor your tragic little delusion any more.
