"Whose people"?  Coo, a stereotypical racist, too.  You really are a 
prize.

Riiiight ... And if you said to me "how American of you," would that
make you a racist?

In a colloquial sense, yes.  I a dictionary-literal sense, no, since 
the population of the United States and pretty cosmopolitan.  But it 
would certainly be derogative, and something-ist.

Of course not.

Oh, sorry - I forgot that in your world only one person is allowed to 
think and answer for themselves.

You and one other person are
taking cheap shots and attempting to use the racist label because you
are even now under the inspiration of Satan.

Typical of the religious (and often the political) fanatic.  The circular 
argument that - you challenge my principles, therefore you must be wrong, 
therefore I must dismiss as fundamentally wrong anything you may say.  
Sadly for you that shamefully shaky foundation doesn't actually make me 
wrong.  It's the debating equivalent of sticking your head in a bucket 
and shouting.

How low of you, and how illogical.  The attempt in fact makes *you*
the racist.

From my name you inferred all sorts of inaccurate, stereotypical bullshit, 
including my religious leanings, and that's somehow not racist, whilst it 
is illogical and underhand of me to highlight it?  And somewhere along the 
line, I've become a racist (in spite of never having once alluded to a 
single factor, other than your repeated failure to present a coherent 
argument)?

Being a man of pure faith I don't expect you to sully yourself with simple 
reason, and I have to say, you've not disappointed me.

In the meantime, SETI will remain a fruitless waste of time and energy
because there is nothing to be found.  Some posters in this newsgroup
are already beginning to realize that they have been engaged in a
meaningless activity, and they are slowly drifting away.  Satanically
inspired activities are never satisfying and are always demeaning.

Right.  That's why there are crooks, thugs, and bullies the world over 
living satisfyingly luxurious lives.

Goddamn, I've been so blind.

Just look at how your own participation has turned you into a racist.

I will continue to pray for you and to hope that you eventually find
salvation and freedom from your own racism.  Peace be with you.

And peace on you, too.
