Tresses,
I do fully respect your opinion and views. And one thing to remember is that this is an open forum, and we certainly welcome all views. Nor do we hold ours to be more or less true than anyone else's.
I personally thing skepticism is a very healthy and natural part of the process of exploration. I hope you do not feel we're trying to get you to change your beliefs or views. You will find a very wide variety of different views on here. Thats diversity in action.
And I think yours is just as valid and important as anyone else's.
And I certainly do hope you'll continue to join us all and share your views. We very much want to hear them.
