I admit to most of the common human foibles. ;-) The only reason I express myself, Amos, is simply that I like to express myself. It makes me feel realer than sitting silently in a corner and never daring to speak, lest someone might disagree with me.

I suspect most others here feel the same. They like to speak their thoughts. Why else would they post?

I certainly am not here to convert anyone. I just want to express who and what I am. Period. Without fear. Everyone wants to express who and what they are, and be accepted as what they are.

I don't want to have a single "dogma". I want to be able to freely consider and discuss the merits of all interesting dogmas and to do so without fear. I want all dogmas to be given some calm consideration by people, some benefit of the doubt, not instantly rejected out of hand due to an established mental habit.

I want to see a world made richer by many ways of thinking, not dominated by one.
