Damn, you're right, ya caught me.

I'm in stubborn denial of something you hold to be invariably true.

I think it would be fun, as a thought experiment, to go back through all of
your posts and replace the word "reality" with the word "God" and see if,
just for fun, it is evocative of any other absolute belief sets.

I'm sorry J.R., this must be getting truly frustrating-- I think we'll
simply have to accept that our respective software is running under wildly
different parameters. I hereby admit to being so prejudiced against your
viewpoint as to be unable to definitvely have an objective discussion with
you about it any longer.

I know you want to brush this one under the carpet, but I hope you'll agree
that the most obvious and most common assumptions are the ones most
resistant to change. In the interests of constant improvement, even the
most fundamental pillars of belief, too, must be challenged.
