do you use the word "dogma" to describe a point of view you don't agree with, and "understanding" (or similar words)to describe your own point of view....?(ggg) I believe he uses it in the way it is always used - i.e. a static belief without proof. Btw, what are you giggling about?

No, I use the word dogma in its most basic dictionary definition... (from Dictionary.com) 1. A doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church. 2. An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true. See Synonyms at doctrine. What I'm saying is that what is written and believed by PEOPLE has been and will continue to be frequently wrong when viewed from a different and more meaningful vantage point - that which is achieved upon "enlightenment", "nirvana", or simply when the "game over" occurs.
