lofty1.......why should I? Was the dicussion about what I thought or, how we come to believe our thoughts correct? The latter. Don't fall into the adroomi trap and attempt to move the burden of proof. The answer does indeed remain on these boards. Search for it. I've made several statements concerning this very notion. I do note that according to the method you offered, that he was within the reasonable confines of how he obtained his beliefs; societal permissions. Kinda scary, really.
What do I believe?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
No permissions for me. God grants rights.
