I still need to read Quine's Two Dogmas of Empiricism though, that one's the real groundbreaker (or so I'm told.) 

That's it, but positivism was already pretty pickled by the time he wrote it.  But the positivists just didn't know it.

Quine was kind of The Word of God at the time. 😎

Many people thought that he WAS a positivist himself, so it was shocking to them.

Great advice, I hear you and I believe I am taking the good and leaving the the bad.  Holding to what is true is so endemic to being a Mormon I can't imagine ever discarding my love of what is true.

That's good.

At least you take something on faith!
