Isn't that why we have bishops and priests?[/quote]My point was the opposite: not that they should read everything; instead, their answer would reveal that they probably haven't read [i]anything[/i], yet they still find it appropriate to pass judgment upon him as if they knew what they were talking about. Chances are, they don't. They're drawing conclusions based on hearsay and their own emotions, instead of facts.
