I find your post to be most offensive JoshC. Presumably that was your intent. Your closing line of "Love and Light" rings hollow.
"The pitfalls of group interlock are quite as insidious as the pitfalls of one's own phantasizing. Group acceptance of undemonstrated existence theorems and of seductive beliefs adds no more validity to the theorems and to the beliefs than one's own phantasizing can add. Anaclitic group behavior is no better than solitudinous phantasies of the truth. Where agreed-upon truth can exist in the science of the innermost realities is not and cannot yet be settled. Beginnings have been made by the efforts of many people, but satisfying proofs are always made by the one."
