@#&$*! I went to all the trouble to type up a long post, Rob, with some juicy lines about by H.L. Mencken and W.T. Stace the value of skepticism, and then, when I hit "Post Reply," it all ... vanished!
Well, perhaps I'll type it all up again, but, for now, suffice it to say that we have, you and I, widely divergent world-views, we probably are never going to agree, and it would appear that we are never even going to close on the topics listed in the title of this thread. We seem to have run off everyone else, too.
