Hi Sea-cat it was'nt aimed at you for goodness sake, don't take umbrage so quickly - I've always believed that there is more out there that needs explanation, and as I pointed out have certain beliefs that cannot be rationalised; this is after all what the discussion is all about. Mustard is digging for the 'experience' whereas I keep my 'experiences' a deep secret ;)

edit Carl Sagan's a Demon-Haunted World is a good book to read, even though it gives an American viewpoint...

Points of info SC, Moss is the most unlikely person on this forum to insult anyone and Sagan is one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. I don't see why a link to him should be a cause for complaint.

I see. I'm delusional. Thanks for letting me know. That level of insulting condascension is why I have decided not to discuss the matter any further and refrain from contributing to this thread any more, or indeed this site.

I'm getting sick to the back teeth of this condescending behaviour and if the Ed's don't stop it more and more people are going to leave. Don't leave SC, rise above it all. I started this thread with the best of intentions and it's a sad day when someone can't have an opinion or view without being shouted down all the time. Shameful.

I certainly wasn't calling you delusional. Hope you didn't get the wrong end of the stick.

Apologies from me too Sea Cat, my post was speaking only about my own experience and with no intention to condescend. The best character improving advice I've ever received came directly from the I Ching - though no doubt fed through my own ingrained beliefs about tolerance winning the day. Sadly, it clearly doesn't always.
I enjoy reading your posts very much - if they don't adher to the popular viewpoint then so much the better. Its a cliche I know, but whats wrong with marching to a different drumbeat. Don't go too far (next door is ok).
Best wishes
