Tril I think you should feel differently about this discussion.
People have generally attacked me for my belief system. It never bothers me! I want to hear their very best reasons for why my beliefs are wrong. If I can't justify my beliefs after hearing theirs, I have no other recourse but to change what I believe. I have done so, many times.
When I state my beliefs as clearly as possible, I am trying to help. When I dismiss things it's because I have examined them over and over and found them, personally, to be silly nonsense.
I believe in a lot of silly nonsense myself. We all do!
Generally, the way we have determined what is true and real is putting ideas through the
scientific method. If something is observable and reproducible I find that makes a very strong case for believing in it. If not, I find that makes a very strong case for dismissing it.
But that's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.
