One thing about it, it can't ALL be true! I have chosen to accept certain ideas about the origin of life, the afterlife, etc. I feel better having something to anchor me. However, I don't try to cram my thoughts down other people's throats, and I have had friends who have had all sorts of ideas. I think it's wrong to be "mean" to people who don't see things like I do. (However, I admit to sometimes wondering how they could believe the things they do--and I'm sure they feel the same way about me!)

History is certainly biased. Case in point, we are now hearing more about "herstory" and the contributions of African-Americans to America.

I definitely believe dwelling on this stuff can drive folks off the deep end.
