Hi all, just been reading the posts and I'd like to make a point about belief.

I have read/pondered/studied loads of theories over the years, some about conspiracies, some about science, some about religion (my fave) just like some of you appear to have done.

If at any point during the last 20 years I had decided "right, thats the one...I BELIEVE" then my journey would be over long before I learned anything.

When you believe something you are automatically predisposed to defend it against new evidence and this is where most people fall down (IMO).

I could bang on about this all day but my shift ends in 40 mins and there's always more to add no matter how concise one tries to be.

Keep searching y'all.

This is where I stand Len, I have my beliefs but or standpoints but they are always open to change.

I think if people having faith in God can help them in their life during the difficult times then fair play to them and all the best.
Its people getting others to kill in the name of God that needs to stop, even George Bush used this bullsh*t tactic to whip the American public into a frenzy now and again.

Beliefs are self protecting mechanisms and are hard to change (not impossible)

Why do you think the liverpool banter forum is so conflicted?

People beliefs are ingrained into their make up
