Why is it everyone's views on religion seems to stem from televangelists? Is everyone out there a TV addict or something?

Lather.Rinse.Repeat.you are getting paranoid here. Immanuel Kant to the rescue:
" Cogito ergo sum "
" I think therefore I am "

Thankfully I have an open mind but I don't let it fall out.

Yes I do use my senses:

To me 1+1=2. Period.No discussion.
To me that's a fact

Can I prove it to you? I don't know. To some people1+1=3
regardless of what you tell them. So I don't know it you
are one of those.
A more concrete example( for the mentally challenged on the thread ) would be that Democrats ( and many Republicans )
call 1.5trillion dollars of defaulted debt, " a balanced budget " and get away with it. If I said that the courts would put me in jail.

So reality sometimes is subjective which is why I emphasized that 1+1+2 to me ; may not be to you. I understand,
and yes, I do feel your pain,

You will never ever get FACTS from the scientific community because we cannot even prove our own existence. Kick a rock. Was the rock really there?
Was your foot really there? That intense pain you're feeling ... real or illusory? Prove your answers.

Up to his dying day he maintained that anyone was free to prove him wrong on the mudhole theory and the rest of it.

Everyone thinks Sagan was such a nut but I maintain he added more to science than so many others (Hawking) based on his ability to communicate. I thoroughly enjoyed "Contact"... a 5 kitty rating film.
