It deeply offends me that people in professions that require a degree of logic and rationality can actually believe in a magical sky wizard.

Um did you read the “logic and rationality” of the person reporting the bug? It’s all about his feelings.

Plus I would argue that Father Christmas is a cthonic deity.

Not seeing this. The only option I have is to autofill with my browser sync credentials. -edit- it shows all my saved gmail credentials, which for this browser is just one.
