J_F - You are asking me to waste my time. I said the truth is out there. You have no interest in the truth. The problem with warmers is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of opportunity to access the truth. The problem warmers have is a willful ignorance of truth. You are not confused or uninformed. You have willfully shut your mind to anything other than the doctrine you have chosen to embrace. Your reason for this decision is unknown. The reason varies with the individual. Regardless of the reason you have embraced a lie. No amount of reason or evidence can shake your conviction because your conviction is not based on evidence and reason. There is a reason you have embraced and whole heartedly bought into a lie. Find that reason and there is hope you can discover the truth. "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still". Men practice what is called confirmation bias. Google it and you will find a wealth of information on the subject. “Studies have shown that people tend to seek out information that is consistent with their views; think of Liberal MSNBC and conservative devotees of Fox News. [2.] Liberals and conservatives also tend to process information that they receive with a bias toward pre-existing opinions, accepting claims that are consistent with their point of view and rejecting those that are not. As a result, information that contradicts their prior attitudes or beliefs is often disregarded, especially if those beliefs are strongly held” (Myths About Health Care Reform Remain, New York Times, March 25, 2010). Facts and evidence that contradict a proud man's strongly held views actually cause proud men to become even more entrenched in their false beliefs. The bottom line is that attainment of knowledge of the the truth rests in the will and not the mind. Only those who humbly seek the truth will find it.
