Since one cannot disprove fairies, elves, or the Invisible Pink Unicorn, at what point do you accept that absence of evidence is evidence of absence?

Wow. The last time I saw someone dodge like that, they ended up spraining their back.
Let me throw this right back at you: in what way is the afterlife a supernatural concept?

Sorry. I didn't realize you were smiley-impaired. I'll remember that next time I'm tempted to include a joke in a response to one of your posts. Better yet, maybe it's better that I just don't respond to your posts.
