Default Re: Wingmakers: Fact, Fiction, or Good Story with some truth...

rejecting something on the basis of whether it contradicts some "bought into" data set is equally as silly as accepting something because it agrees with some "bought into" data set.

My own filters flash on when I hear things like "you'll recognize it as false when it contradicts what I've said. (paraphrase of quotes purported to be from Jesus)

I can picture some scanning a thread or post with a key word search on "Jesus" to see if "he's" contradicted, and if so, then getting to work disgorging the HMS (and GSSC) borne justifications.

Where does that compulsion to discredit originate? That's what I'd be asking. Not "how can I discredit this in his holy name"?
