Well, Ed...it is indeed funny when said lightly, but the serious side of it is that belief in various religious constructs is deeply embedded in human history, and thus, when I debate certain ideas, I try very hard to keep in mind why the 'easier' way is so common. Doubting & skepticism have not only required a 'different' form of thinking in history, but also of the courage to question in the face of inquisitions and burnings...etc.

IF I had a magic button that would instantly make believers into... whatever I am.. I would not push it. It scares me to think of the chaos. It will take centuries... if ever... for religion to become just one aspect of how 'thinking' has evolved, as well as our bodies.
