Message-ID: <4790@utzoo.UUCP> Date: Sat, 15-Dec-84 19:21:18 EST Article-I.D.: utzoo.4790 Posted: Sat Dec 15 19:21:18 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 15-Dec-84 19:21:18 EST Organization: U of Toronto Zoology Lines: 16 I had a thought as I was reading a weeks worth of net.religion. One oft'repeated theme is ``I won't believe in your god/religion/system of philosophy/system of ethics until god/society/the mystic feelings I feel does X''. Maybe the opposite question deserves to be mentioned. What would it take before you consider that your religion is incorrect, flawed, or in some other way better *not* to believe? Given this audience, there are obviously lots of people who have come to this very conclusion. What about those who haven't? What about those who have but are convinced that *now* they have a handle on truth, whereas before they were mistaken (or worse)? Laura Creighton utzoo!laura
