That must be where I'm going wrong then, why I'm nutz. Has questioning anything ever sent anybody round the bend? True people who are less stable tend to question things others don't talk about. I would not think of a human that could not question as being a healthy individual. As such the axioms which are my starting points are not fixed, but are reappraised and set against other axioms which might be more pleasing to me.
A fixed position is a dead position. Without a fixed position your house of cards falls.
So the simple question for you is. . . Do you want to believe more than you want to look for truth?
