And it takes a lot more than simple logic or rational arguments to make them question beliefs, which is the point of successful belief systems. I know I balked at stuff like this as a believer for a long time, and it was easy to do.

(146,218 posts)14. I thought I might figure it out by who was slapping who on the back,
but that hasn't happened.
And I am not familiar with this cartoonist.

cbayer
