Facts, evidence, proof...they are all overrated, in my opinion. ;) (science, bless)

Life experience sweetie. Life teaches you a lot of things. It highlights whether dogma is truth or false, it illuminates the dichotomy between what we are are taught in religion with what is actual and real and evidential.

If you think I am trying to embarrass you or harass you then I am sorry, my writing style is harsh and I come across as a ***** at times. I simply don't tolerate fools well.

I can deal with your "style". I've had plenty of life experience. How old do you think I am? Does your use of the word "sweetie" indicate that you believe I that I am young or just a "fool".

Part of my "life experience" has taught me that even the most "book smart" people can lack common sense and are also quite capable of being "fools".

So, no need to be "sorry". Despite what you think, I have my big girl panties on and they aren't in a wad.

Maybe it's my grammar or punctuation. I am admitedly a bit rusty.
Although I'm sure it probably wouldn't matter if I were more well spoken.
It becomes clearer and clearer that it isn't only some religious folks who are only capable of seeing what they choose to see.

You are holding your own just fine, Looking . . . it is particularly difficult dealing with what I call the "right-brain-dead" types. The males are the worst because males are particularly right-brain-dead and oblivious to 50% of the reality available to them . . . until they are trained and disciplined to access it.

Probably true, but some of the females aren't far behind.

Thank you.

What in the world are you talking about here? That makes no sense to what you replied to. It isn't hard to determine whether you are theist or atheist, as I said, you either believe in a theistic God or you dont.

We have already covered this ground haven't we? As stated before, no argument at this end with the above statement.

Trained by who exactly? The preacher man? The nutjob standing on the street corner with a sign reading " repent, the end is near".....The Bible? Who?

I think we both do in some ways.
Mistakes happen. No worries.

To the OP.....a dumb woman? No, I think you are are an aware, and awake gal that sees and knows, and intuits without knowing how that you know what you do, sort of thing.

Others, often have "proof" wasted on them even if they get it. Seeing, they do not see, and hearing, they still do not understand. Ya know, that's why it was truly said that "there is none so blind as those that will not see.

God bless you~ I think He already has. Now, carry on and don't doubt yourself concerning what you know within yourself.
