What we believe is basically who we are, so I feel that it is vital that we take extreme care in establishing our t***h. Whether or not you think that I do that (which is not the topic), I thought hearing from both sides on how they come to ascertain their core tenets and opinions. From over seventy years of existence, I have regrettably found the vast majority give little care and attention to actually formulating what is true for themselves through investigation and an open mind. Lockstep Group-think--in politics, religion, and other organizations--too often prevail even against credible evidence to the contrary. I would cite some present day examples but this thread is neutral in that regard. There is nothing to h**e here or attack so it might not invoke any interest. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, perhaps a value we all share. Maybe.
