    There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

      Why do I need to refute the idea that a lack of evidence is just more evidence that you're right and everybody else is wrong? Like I've heard before, JFK was a big figure and people don't want to believe that some lone nut could kill a US president, but it has happened not just in the case of JFK, but also in the cases of Garfield and McKinley. The only US president, we know, for a fact, was killed by a conspiracy would be Lincoln. Why do you have such a hard time believing that lone nut cases can kill famous figures?

      Arguing "that a lack of evidence is just more evidence for your case"? Too bad she will not be around to point out at least one example of that. Possibly she meant that she didn't see any witness evidence, therefore it is a lack of evidence--I don't know.
      And yet, 50 years later nobody has been able to find any sort of evidence to support the assertion that JFK was killed by anybody else, but a lone gunman. Why do you want to believe these nutty conspiracy theories?

        Either you regard JFK as a god or ... as a devil. Hmm ... or animal. Or were you just being satyrical?

          I don't have a hard time believing whats-his-name killed John Lennon.

          Well, why don't I buy the book mentioned in the OP of the JFK murder thread
          http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...ull=1#post2112
          and mail it to you. You then go through the book paragraph by paragraph, explaining why all those paragraphs plus citations can't be true?

            This could be an example of a conspiracy that managed to keep its racket going for at least a decade. "Gold Fix Study Shows Signs of Decade of Bank Manipulation" http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-0...ipulation.html
