    1. that it sits comfortably with you - identifying with it to your wholeness - belief/values
    2. looking for proof and/or compromise your self if convinced of mind / swayed in the extents of your own understanding

    Which one are you?

    Which one were you?

    To be honest I don't understand what sense 1 or 2 makes. So I would be hard pressed to chose which one I am. But then agian why only 2 choices why not more?

    More dichotomous thinking? another "ya gotta be this or that". Must be a recent dubby!

    I think it has to be one or the other one any particular subject - but in terms of dubbyhood I was definitely making the evidence fit in with my pre-existing beliefs. It wasn't until the belief system betrayed me that I started looking at things more objectively.

    If everyone felt this way.....nobody would ever be one of Jehovah's witnesses if they understood all they believe before being baptised.

    How do you go when someone asks you left or right ?

    another "ya gotta be this or that".

    Well, you could say straight ahead, there's no 'gotta be'

    I'm not American - and even if I were I wouldn't vote for either party - was anyone saying that you have to ?

    Tee-hee-hee. Very nice comeback to some unwarranted sarcasm.
