kevin smith of the kevin smith show says that belief takes over when the facts run out. i tend to agree. i thing there are a fair number of people who fail to understand that words actually mean specific and accurate things and when it comes to belief they`ve assumed that there is some factual basis for thier belief. we all fall into belief traps occasionally.
i believe my soccer team is the best.
i don`t believe in u.f.o.s though. i realise that there are objects in the sky observed by humans that are outside of identification presently. it`s entertaining to speculate as to what they are but putting alien creatures inside them is fantasy. in the stories i tell my children at bedtime the aliens are only three inches high and come from a distant planet with too much cat poo flavoured jello.( a bureaucratic error.) and thier mission is to give it to human children as a gift.
my children know it`s a story.
We affirm that Scripture in its entirety is inerrant, being free from all falsehood, fraud, or deceit. [â€¦]
now, just substitute the word scripture for alien spacecraft in the above sentance and you have an interesting bedtime story.

Well I think that’s exactly how it is when you have any particular belief… you jam one of the keys in your keyboard and have to type around it creatively. It’s like that Simpson’s episode when Mr. Burns asks Homer to explain why he shouldn’t fire him without using the letter “e”… Homer says “I… am… a… good… work… guy” Or something to that effect anyway…

i am trained to look at the effects of beliefs(pre-suppositions) on people and by association, groups and whole cultures. the effect of catholicism on people, especially the poor, who tend to be the most fervent adherents to religious dogma, has been catastrophic. from poverty to poor health to issues with relationships of all kinds the catholic has been sold a bill of goods regarding the basic skills of living to fit into whichever encyclical edict comes down the pipe. i had a bright, kind artistic woman look me straight in the eye and say that she thought that suicide was o.k. now according to the catholic church. this was during a discussion about “constantine”, the new matrix movie for catholics. it`s like having a calculator with the 7 button jammed. all calculations work perfectly unless they involve 7.

For some more thoughts on Platonism in modern thought and government, have you looked at any of the essays on scifi author David Brin’s website or blog (http://davidbrin.blogspot.com)… I don’t agree with him completely, but it’s interesting nontheless. That, and he’s becoming oddly conspiratorial for his usual moderate self…
