Must be why I dislike W. Allen....

I merely disagreed with the _method_ for 'believing' these things. I do
not take anything on faith. I am philosophically a skeptic. I do not
accept things the way a fundie does. The fundie does not question, and
that is what is specifically different.

And I would choose truth. It's more real.

(And when the hell was this first posted? My attention span is
showing....)
