yes...very interesting and important article. I really needed something like that, said in carefully reasoned ways, to help ME appreciate what it 'feels' like to those who hold beliefs that seem strange to me....this part near the end, and the 2 paragraphs following it are well taken:

"Skeptics will only win the war for rational beliefs by continuing, even in the face of defensive responses from others, to use behavior that is unfailingly dignified and tactful and that communicates respect and wisdom. For the data to speak loudly, skeptics must always refrain from screaming."

I will go back and reread this...and probably print it off to mark up...

I have intended for years to re-read Eric Hoffer's book "The True Believer" ...perhaps this is a good time..(if I can dig it out of the catacombs that I used to call my basement library....)
