Re: No offence taken
and I haven't seen any evidence of you lacking skill in English either. I'm not English myself and I suppose if we come from two other languages we may well run into some translation and interpretation problems from time to time. I appreciated your comment and you are most welcome to do so again.

I'm sorry - my English is obviously not good enough for these discussions. I did not mean to offend you in any way

Re: Doesn't that go for any fanatic, even a religious person?
That's why I include "dogmatic believers". In my view, religiosity, as exemplified by the writers of the Great Myths, Histories and other treatises of a religious nature, is a product of processing information in a multidisciplinary and synthesizing fashion, guided by an awareness of the interconnectedness of everything with a holistic view of events, which would indicate a lateral thinking capacity. Perhaps you find people like me fanatically religious too? I have no problem being labeled as such. Rather that than fanatically materialistic or dogma driven. No humanly conceived category will be watertight, so I will admit that there may well be atheists and other believers in dogmatic versions of reality that have a tendency to "cross the lines" sometimes. I do find philosophers and others who write on the subject of the nature of reality mostly fall in basically two camps. Narrow minded people who always stick to linear patterns of thinking and the presentation of information in a very dry and unimaginative fashion and open minded people who "play and dance" with words in an attempt to say the unsayable between the lines. The latter category are usually not understood by the first mentioned but they show clear signs of understanding the sequential thinkers mental processes.
