    It makes me feel more special. If there are other forms of life and we are spread so far apart or even inter dimensionally separated...for them to have visited is pretty cool to me. For them to keep visiting after seeing our crap is even cooler.
    "Their [the new atheists] treatment of the religious viewpoint is pathetic to the point of non-being. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion would fail any introductory philosophy or religion course. Proudly he criticizes that whereof he knows nothing... I am indignant at the poor quality of the argumentation in Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, and all of the others in that group."
