It's convincing the people to do that kind of learning, which takes time and effort. It's much easier to be wafted about on the whims of "new finds" designed to shake our faith.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337019503451500138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-83417025948832235262011-09-17T07:42:37.448-05:002011-09-17T07:42:37.448-05:00If folks are so skeptical, why aren't they mor...If folks are so skeptical, why aren't they more skeptical of the fringers with their fabricated da Vinci codes and obscure fragments instead of the text which has withstood endless assaults by all manner of critics and skeptics over the millennia?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
