You're right Ted. I was talking to a co-worker and talk got around to climate change. So, I started asking him questions, you could see the gears in his head jamming and stripping, finally, he said "can we not talk about this anymore? this is very important to me and I find this very upsetting".

I suppose when all you have is a golden calf, any questioning is an existential threat.

I was a non-practicing Catholic for a long time. After the children were born I returned to church. While looking something up, I discovered a spirituality and religion forum, populated by a lot of aggressive athiests. I never posted or engaged with them, I just took their viewpoints and questions and began searching for answers. That was the best thing that could have happened for my faith. I don't like what the world has become but I'm at a certain peace with it, because I know God exists and we are working towards a resolution. I still have questions, but they're about guardrails and signs, not the direction of the road.

When someone demands you follow their science, and tries to quash questions or dissent, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Best to you also, Tim
