There is a vast wealth of information to be learned and had. People are just deaf to it or simply refuse it.
Katherine's comment on 2010-07-27 13:38:54:
Those who are childlike refuse to put away childish things (I Corinthians 13:11). Those who cast premature judgments and condemnations continue in their paths. The ignorant hate to learn.
