[Vision2020] Beastiality and Incest

[heirdoug at netscape.net]

Chas,

You answered well. I'm perfectly willing to accept that there is no God
just as you are willing (while hoping) to accept that the sun will not 
rise
(actually the earth rotates but that is a different cosmology). You 
have
one thought that you made that is not as accurate as your others. You
say that "this isn't entirely based on faith" and yet it is based on 
faith.
All of the choices that you make each moment are based on faith.
Just as mine are. Some are of a true faith or a false faith.

Keep up the good work

Doug!

I don't know that the sun will rise tomorrow, and I am perfectly
willing to accept that it will not (whilst hoping that it will). 
However, for
pragmatic reasons, it is convenient to proceed living my
life as if I know that it will rise. Of course, I am assuming a
non-demonstrable causal-chain, but this isn't entirely based on faith,
as I have accumulated a history of prior observations.
