I never said he would support my opinion, so I'm not sure where you got that from. I just said I'd love to read his response to this. I'm certain he would disagree with me, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't still find what he had to say interesting. This is one of my problems with a lot of skeptics.... they hold very elitist views and a lot of times aren't willing to even entertain a thought just because they can't personally accept it. They show a general disinterest in anything that doesn't fit into their personal belief system, and I find that very limiting. I myself have a very open mind, and therefore I find ideas interesting even if I have my doubts about them. That is the only way our knowledge can grow, by thinking outside the box and engaging in what is foreign to us. Therefore, like I said before, I would love to red Rasta_Man's response to this because I'm sure it would be an interesting read and express a different perspective on the subject. I don't understand why so many people take what R_M says as the ultimate authority on whatever subject it happens to be. He was just a somewhat intelligent 18 year old member of this forum who had his personal opinion like everyone else. So yes, I suppose his "teachings" have been lost on me if that means I'm not going to change what I believe in to conform to his personal views or anyone else's. But that doesn't mean I can't still find them interesting.
