Yes, many of the ~40% I have met are like that. Those I have discussed it with seem to keep their mind compartmentalized, with the rational/scientific part in charge most of the time, but they keep the irrational/religious part going in parallel, although usually not in dominance. In several of the cases, it seems likely this behavior was due to religious brainwashing when they were young and impressionable, and they never quite manage to expunge it, so it just gets pushed into a corner. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
