silly you, would you bet your life on a comic book?

I honestly see no difference - at least, as far as verifiable factuality is concerned - between the average comic book and Revelations.

Actually, I would rate comic books higher, insofar as they don't purport to be anything but entertaining fictions.

Revelations reads like the author was having a particularly bad LSD trip. Its reliability and intelligibility are so poor as to virtually disqualify it as a source of practical knowledge or useful life wisdom.

I would say that the length and cogency of my posts - as compared, e.g., with your posts - gives me more credibility than you.

I suppose you could be posting from your smartphone, while driving your Vespa along a bumpy road at night, but your terse, low-information replies give me the impression that, on the contrary, it is you who are interested in provoking a verbal brawl (as opposed to a balanced discussion).

Regards,

So the length of a post verifies veracity? Nonsense. I’ll stay with you for a bit longer, only for your amusement. Ha Ha...........

The length of a post does not, of course, automatically guarantee veracity, but it does, at least, show a willingness to engage.

On the other hand, extremely laconic posts - especially those offering no coherent argument whatsoever, nor providing any kind of measured, thoughtful response - are indicative of a mind either unable or unwilling to formulate its thoughts and participate in a productive given-and-take.

Your Schtick grows tiresome.
