Sort-of like religious people claiming to have experienced a state of grace that non-believers are not privy to.

Yet, if I were to call all the people who believe in God stupid, because said deity is not apparent to me, I would be called a bigot, and rightly so.

If we are going to discount people's intelligence because they take things on faith and they rely on other criteria besided concrete evidence, I will expect you to stick with only things we can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Now, about that link between al Qaeda and Iraq...

And where are those WMD again?
