     But when it comes right down to it,  that's the only sort of
"proof" you've given us from the day you first showed your face on the
list.  Obviously,  you believe that devotion certainly does constitute
proof, as long as (your particular brand of) Christianity is the
religion that the devotion is being shown to.

     Sure, Mike.  You're a scientist.  Perhaps you're an electrical
engineer with delusions of adequacy.

     On the other hand,  who knows?  Perhaps Mike could surprise me. 
So,  Mike,  what level of education did you receive (BA? PhD? MD?), 
where did you get it from,  and was the school accredited to give such
a degree?

BROTHER MICHAEL

     Being the trained scientist that you are,  you should be able to
explain in detail why the preceding sentence is antithetical to the
scientific method.

     It amazes me that the mere theoretical possibility of having your
beliefs disproven would drive you deeper into your security blanket. 
If I ever take a psyche course,  I'll have to write a paper on you.

     Uh,  actually, no.  I don't.
