You've summed up you're entire argument. I don't think there is any point continuing this discussion when your belief is founded on the fact that it "makes sense" to you.
I understand what you mean about it being unsubstantiated. I just wanted you to actually say what you just said. Now we've got that out of the way, I can understand why we don't see the same thing on various issues.
No your original disclaimer concerned blind statements such as "it just is" or "because that's what I believe" sort of meaningless and thoughtless justifications. I don't know if you misread me there but I said "because it makes sense". This is entirely different.. my position is the result of reasoned consideration, and not blind acceptance.
If you are saying something different now then great, I'm glad I've progressed with someone. I agree, there is no discussion on certain topics for me either. I've tried to say this but others haven't got it I honestly think.
I'm happy for you to have reached your conclusions and don't wish at all to impose on them. I'm interested in your ideas and what leads you to think what you do, as an equal.
(I hope that went some way to answering you too Adrian BTW)
