Speaking for myself, I don't trust anybody, with only a few exceptions.

After all, they still believe that an imaginary backwoods jew had all the answers 2000 years ago and that his ideas tell us how to handle politics, science, education, people relations, sex, and so forth.
Anyone after him who claims different is obviously not an expert, and probably works for the devil.

Just for the record - I don't insult a person's religious beliefs. And I don't belong to any specific religion. Try again.

If you showed a homosexual a study about how homosexuality didn't exist, the study would be wrong. If I showed you a study about how caucasians don't exist, the study would be equally wrong. No such study can exist, therefore it can't really be used in an illustration.

A non-homosexual can not possibly understand the reality of homosexuality and the opposite is true. As a non-homosexual, I don't know if homosexuality is real, what it is, what it means, other than how it is described to me. I simply respect the reality of what others say in that regard. I accept that there are different "realities" when it comes to sexuality. The difference in "reality" molds political views on the subject.
A person who sees potential threats the way you do can not possible understand the reality of the way I see potential threats. I have come to understand our difference. the difference in "reality" molds political views on the subject.
When I know how I factor in the implications of taxation in my business decisions, and if perhaps you don't- you may not understand the reality of how tax policy can impact business decisions - then how we have the different perspective when challenging or accepting "reports" that could lead us to very different conclusions based on "reality" even given the same data.
People bring who they are and what they have experienced to the table, that in-part defines their reality. As a child I was intrigued by a fact that in different languages some people did not have words for certain concepts that others had words for. In no way does that mean that certain concepts are not real.
