So you say. Given your track record, I must refuse to accept your
unsup****ted claim.

I see you have decided to fall back on dishonesty since you don't have a
valid argument.

No. I have no gods.

So, you got your history from anti-science lunatics. Why don't you go
learn about the Nazi era and get back to us. I expect you to apologize
at that time for your defamatory and demostrably false claim.

More lies. Science had nothing at all to do with it.

No, they were not. Yes, there were people doing horrible things to other
people at the time, but they weren't scientific and certainly not
'highly scientific'. Any more anti-science lies you'd like to try to
tell us.

You are a another in a long line of pathetic fools who tells lies rather
than admit that his religious doctines are foolish and wrong. This one
was worse than usual. Most religionists don't try to bring up the Nazis
since so many of their co-religionists were cheering the Nazis on. 

You are a friend of evil.
