Yet, as one saved from that very sort of clap-trap (in my case the Peter Marshall by Noll, et. al.) I can't help but feel that you are perhaps selling these debunking efforts a little short. <br /><br />To be sure, there are those who will continue to believe what they want regardless of all evidence to the contrary. Yet, I do not think I was exceptional in being forced to face, and eventually accept, a reality I very much did not want to believe. <br /><br />There are many thoughtful and intellectually-honest folks raised in fundamentalism, whose minds CAN be changed, and I'm grateful for those who engage in these efforts.Timnoreply@blogger.com
