"I'm not big into my feelings.  I don't believe you have to believe a woman because they said it."  So remarked South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham in regard to the furor over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
     Well, Senator, do you believe you have to believe a man?  Absent credible evidence to the contrary, are not we obligated, out of respect for our fellow human beings, all of whom, I presume you believe, are created in the image of God, to believe people for what they say?
     Conversely, if, for instance, you say you are a Christian (and you indeed claim to be one), must I believe you?
