@ From this logic:
"... skepticism for me has been like a constant companion......For
most of my adult life I've sought out reasons to doubt. I was a
long-term subscriber to Skeptical Inquirer and even tried Free
Inquiry until I got tired of the emotional diatribes against religion
in any form. I sought reasons to doubt because I wanted to be sure
my peculiar set of beliefs was not illusory. There's been a lot to
accommodate, but my beliefs have stood the test, and I've now
cancelled my subscription to Skeptical Inquirer. Time to start
entertaining reasons to believe. ~ Don Winterstein Tue, 13 Dec
