Credulity encourages us to believe without thinking and skepticism encourages us to disbelieve without thinking. Both are folly. The credulous person accepts tales of the supernatural without bothering to find out if they are a) true or b) from God. The skeptic reflexively rejects the supernatural, not on the basis of the evidence, but on the basis of a personal dogma which rules out the supernatural in advance of and in the teeth of whatever evidence there may be.

I don't think that I've disagreed with any of your comments that I've read, Gladbutterfly. I know that's not saying much, but you commented on my first article here and I've enjoyed coming across your thoughtful ideas on many other articles since.

I still am not sure where Gladbutterfly comes from or how she got to Newsvine, as she must have come from a world far more advanced and caring then most. However, I have to say, I sure am honored and touched to be a friend. I have always been glad to read her comments that have a personal and caring touch, her photos are awesome and she just adds so much to Newsvine. I am glad she arrived !
