Got a new term for you. Tragical. Its like a miracle, but when god does 
stuff that's bad, because he "works in mysterious ways". lol

Think I am going to have to keep up with this guys videos.

Tell you the truth, I don't think we are "that" different. About the 
only difference I can see is that, maybe, you are one of those that 
think that given "some" ground can benefit our position. I once thought 
that might be true, then I realized that, in reality, the people 
fighting the hardest for beliefs are basically impervious to evidence in 
most cases, without causing their whole world view to shatter like a 
chandelier, and so talking to them is pointless, once you figure out 
that they have put themselves in the unassailable position of stating, 
"There is no evidence, ever, that would sway my belief.", and, anyone 
willing to listen, isn't part of the problem in the first place. You 
give ground to people who "could be" persuaded, but only as much as 
needed. You never do so with someone that refuses to even acknowledge 
the possible flaws, or lack of knowledge, inherent in their positions.

And, frankly, he claims I called him a moron. No, confusing "ignorant" 
with "stupid" is moronic. Had he opted to take the definition for what 
it "means", instead of inflating it into something worse... But, as they 
say, better to say nothing, than erase all doubt.

That still doesn't mean he isn't do "some" respect for everything else 
he does in his life, even to help others. It just means that he is the 
reverse of an idiot savant. Instead of having one thing he does very 
very well, and everything else poorly, he does everything else rather 
well, and one thing very very poorly. Most of us have that handicap, in 
one fashion or another. Mine is that I couldn't play a sport, or 
apparently even a game of chance, without losing, even with loaded dice. 
I am an idiot at it. Its a common affliction in nerds. His... is 
similarly common. But, there is a difference between ignorance, 
stupidity and willful blindness. The first is curable, the second 
incurable, and the third, takes a great deal of practice. The first step 
is to deny you have a problem at all, or could be bad at it.
