For the most part, Debbie speaks for me as well. The only exception might be that in off list discussions, I have not observed people being too much different, but this might be flavored by differences in how we filter what people write. I try hard not to read between the lines more than I should and make premature judgments. I try to see people in another way that I cannot get into particulars about without getting into hot water with some people on this forum.
I think in Debbie's particular case, serious reductionistic thinking posed an additional problem for her. I'm sure that she thinks she is fine with reductionistic inquiry, but true reductionism requires skepticism to operate, and it digs and digs at words and minutiae. It is a rather tedious process, but very rewarding if carried out to the end. Few on TruthTalk ever stick it out for the entire process so the rewards are minimally realized. It reminds me of the passage, "ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise." Different subject and context, but the concept is similar. Lance, thanks for sharing her thoughts with us. Peace be with you.
