... I also don't believe the avatar stuff much either.

Brock, I would rather express in objective, technical terms.

If you say: "I don't believe...' that's an expression of your own individual reasoning, which may be biased.

If you say: evidence suggests that....., or logic suggests that...., enumerating the points leading to such conclusions, then your point gains a much higher value, since it has shifted from the subjective realm of individual belief to the objective realm of common logic and evidence.

Also, if you beg my pertinacious punctiliousness, you did not explain exactly what in the 'avatar stuff' is not correct in your opinion.
Right now, I'm expressing in a most neutral way. I myself found some incoherencies in the recounts of avatars as exposed in the AOY. Some apparent contradictions have been discussed by Anandamoy as well.

Pls explain what are your doubts exactly and the reasons. Do you doubt the very concept of 'Avatar' and why, or do you doubt some specific context which appears inconsistent.
