How well said!
I, too, can still remember the magical thinking of a child!
One thing really annoys me: That is, when educated and articulate people reverse the process of, facts and premises first, conclusion last into, conclusion first, and interpret the facts in whatever manner is necessary to make them fit the conclusion...

If you click on any book and chapter, you will soon find yourself following convolutions of thought, that are meant to justify (as an example) the murder of innocents--or maybe some less drastic verse or passage. The sophistry is as clear as the receptacle it is meant for. It can become very irksome...
