As far as one can generalise about such things, I think we believe what we believe because that is what we need to believe; even if that need is buried so far in our past (or subconscious) that we cannot recognise it.

By the same generalisation, defending our beliefs, even in what purports to be open minded discussion, tends to have the effect of strengthening those beliefs.

I think it would be an interesting exercise if Rev and TT were to change sides and each defend the other's viewpoint.


There never was nothing.
