It's ok Steve, no one will force you to think about these other ideas. They are just there for people who want to talk about them. If it makes you feel uncomfortable or if these ideas are scary to think about, I can preface these types of posts with a sentence that warns that they are non-compliant or new ideas and that discussing them may be challenging or scary. Lot's of people in the catholic church or in Islam over the past centuries have the same type of reaction to new information as they have the one true way to enlightenment as well. When we have a life built on certainty of our beliefs, it can be scary to discuss new ideas because they can potentially make us question what we believe. Maybe I can make a thread/subsection that can have this warning on it and that way people who are triggered by these ideas can avoid that area.
