How can anyone in their right mind sit there and say ridiculous things like "Most christians don't have time, the inclination or the intellectual wherewithal" to learn about other things??
The only way to find 'inclination' and "intellectual wherewithal" is to READ other books and LEARN to think for YOURSELF.
Learn as much as you can. Don't let ANYONE - even John Piper, tell you you are not smart enough.

@ndzoko can you answer this question: would the world be more peaceful if Jesus was the president of the whole world
-
@eagles5822 back to Egypt and they would curse you because you would want them to bless those that curse them

@ndzoko I don't know any jews or Christian who killed anyone, I know that Jesus Christ said "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8: 7) I also know that there is no chapter in ANY BOOK which is as peaceful as the Sermont of the mount. Secondly if you were a loving God who knew that his people had been slaves durin 420 years would you tell to your people to love bless those that curse them the answer is no because that would make them go
Most christians don't read the bible, so they sure won't read other holy books!

He's absolutely right in his final analogy! Plus, too often, those not gifted with a calling into apologetics, who are really not all that grounded in their own beliefs or why they believe them, when they read all the beliefs of World Religions, become confused as to what the Truth is. Soon, they forget what they read, where they read it or if they heard it or dreamed it or what. Always stay under the covering of your Church or husband in such matters before venturing out. Pray first.
