Geez, you two are using lotsa big words.

Oh, yeah, I came over here for a reason - either of you two got a big padlock and an attack-trained Rottweiler? I gotta go baby-proof Quintex (altho' I'm not sure that's what Jfred really had in mind...)

<<The truly
"faithful" in my model, would choose to ignore the evidence rather than give up their
belief.

Well-let's see-they would ignore evidence because their intuitive/ Feeling side is dominant-and they have chosen faith,which implies a certain amount of accepting the illogical. THey are ignoring their other side---which will haunt them eventually---through dreams or neuroses. But what you think is that some of us just don't have the capability to have faith at all? What about conversions? Or reverse conversions? LIke me. Do you think it's an either/or condition? But then how do you explain believing for years and then "losing" your faith. Or vice versa?
