ShellB, I don't disagree with much of your post as it is logical. One or two bits I might argue specifics but we're generally on the same side, so I'll leave it.
My wall of type was really inspired because somebody told me that to completely dismiss the possibility of the tooth fairy being real would be a suspension of critical thinking, and further went on to say that IF the tooth fairy was proven to be real then "I wouldn't look so smug then" - well obviously I wouldn't but it's a moot point rather than one based in reality. Anyway I got the hump because I considered that to be taking philosobabble beyond an acceptable level of credibilty - my point being people can tell me all day long that philosophically speaking, "you can't totally rule out the possibility of the tooth fairy being real" - maybe that's so but all that statement suggests to me is that philosophy is flawed. Because let's face it, we KNOW that the tooth fairy is fictional, and as far as I'm concerned, there is no possibility of it being real. I'd rather be right that philosophically correct.
Anyhow, it's no biggie

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
