interesting, yeah no problem. but, all my research points at the jesuits and the sabbatean frankists and if we go back further in time, middle eastern sufi sects such as the nizari ismaili assassins from alamut in iran/afghanistan represented today by aga khan... and other gnostic sects... in a word, you seem to think my convictions are faith based convictions. thats a mistake.

Everyone believes things. Everything is faith-based. Your faith might be supported with substantial evidence, but mine is supported by meagre evidence and Occam's Razor.

And I think I've just discovered one of my implicit biases: I don't care who's responsible for things, if I can make it stop. Feel free to work around that if you do take on the fool's errand of trying to convince me of something; I'll try to listen if you do. (Though I'll want sources, not blogs and YouTube videos like so many people keep calling evidence.)

I've got more time for books than blogs. Try me.
