Mike, are you saying that *no one* can rightly be an
a(insertanycrazyideaofyourchoice)ist?

>  A belief without justification is a faith.

... and that, therefore, anyone who professes to be an
a(insertanycrazyideaofyourchoice)ist is a "faithful" person?

Does the proposal that "the burden of proof is on the person asserting the
belief" make any sense to you?
