I've noticed a few times that people say that others are entrenched in their beliefs, with a sort of Negative connotation. As for myself, and from what I have read Russ as well, I have studied different religions, from taoism to islam, and different agnostic/atheist beliefs as well. And none of them provide satisfactory answers to life's questions in my opinion. How did we get here? Why are we here? If there is a God, why does he permit suffering? Why do we grow old, get sick and die? etc.

When you have put years of effort into searching for the truth (few people do this) and you find it, you are close minded (but respectful) to what you now understand to NOT be the truth.

Belief that there is more than one truth..is the pinnacle of false reasoning.

I'm still waiting for the evolution reponses from the above questions.
