I understand why you might get angry now, but I didn't intend such. I never, ever (and if I did I would certainly get angry at myself) intended communicting with spirits or fairy dancing or whatever. You made a comment on my heritage. That might be true but not lately. I am more Italian than anything else. I didn't even have my Gaelic heritage in mind when I made that comment.
I have always been interested in worldview matters. I also believe the Enlightenment to be one of the darkest moments in Western history. I was simply trying to trace out why people do not believe such and such when educated people did believe such and such a few centuries earlier. My point was that given Enlightenment standards of rationality, people can't believe in supernatural. And while we are all committed Christians, we still retain elements of the Enlightenment in our minds.
That's it. I didn't intend anything else. I will be honest with you. I don't know much about Fairies. I don't know if I have ever read a book on them. I am not that interested. They were simply an illustration in a worldview argument. An illustration. That's it.
