Good luck everyone.

Actually, I agree with some of this.
"It is circular reasoning to assess the likelihood of what is true by what you already think is likely to be true."  In other words, our mindset and our beliefs influences all of our assessments of truth. I have family that believes that Jesus is coming for them soon, therefore climate change can't be real, but if it is, who cares?  Of course, most of us here prefer scientific studies and research on climate change . . . those tend to tear down dogma.

"Conjecture begets conjecture. And certainty has it's disciplines, for it hates knowing without decisive insight and proof."  Absolutely.  And if that conjecture is built upon the beach sand castle of religious lies, then the sand castle is built of granite, there is no sea and no tide, and anyone who tries to take a sample of sand is evil.

You have created a rather lovely description of religious dogma and belief.  I might keep it.

The only concern, of course, is that we take sand samples and scream about the tide coming in and you're sitting inside the throne room of the castle marinating in your conjectures.
