Entitled to my opinion....so there!

[John Caldwell]

And what if the defense is totally bogus, but you still believe you are defending it adequately? All those who hold to false beliefs assume that they are defending them, when in fact they are simply repeating the *mantras* taught by their religious groups.

That is the reason for debate and argument (to examine the defense). Opposing sides always see the opponents evidence as bogus. But that's where the argument has to be. If you are able to demonstrate the evidence wrong then the opinion really does not matter.

I keep thinking of C. S. Lewis. His works, I suppose, have had an impact on how I think.

I think we can hold an opinion or belief only Insofar as we can defend that view.

I think that's proper.

I don't actually want to think something that I don't have what I believe to be sound reason to think.

That's what's led me to such intensive study for so many years to make certain the promises of God.

Much love!
