They have this totalitarian approach that each one has to get everything right but the more we learn the more we find out there's more variables than we can keep track of and that psychology/sociology seems to impact everything and philosophers in particular.

Good point. To me, the philosophers that matter are the ones that acknowledge the unknown.

Oh and your post is an excellent argument against religious dogmatism.

Name a few that acknowledge the unknown I might want to read up on them.

You could try Nietzsche, Hume, and Kierkegaard on the subject. Is my bias too obvious? There are oodles of contemporary philosophers with good stuff. Maybe Philo can make some recommendations?

And you could look at Voltaire, Locke, maybe Dewey and Popper... Yeesh, I'm starting to sound like an existentialist.
