Some Thoughts on the Book of Acts and Pauline Theology
“Either we are fools for the world because of Christ or we are fools for Christ because of the world. O how short-lived is the sound of a word of the world! If the world would say to us ‘fool,’ the world will die and its word will die! What then is the value of its word? But if the heavenly, immortal ones say to us ‘fool,’ that will neither die nor is it removed from us as eternal condemnation.” + St. Nikolai Velimirovich

I see that more often in more public discourse, such as the media. Reading comments on a post about religion or politics from a mainstream news source like yahoo (never a good idea) makes obvious commenters’ confusion about concepts. What do you suppose is a solution?

The obvious solution to me is to simply spend more time thinking and less time speaking – thinking and learning. But on the whole I’m not holding my breath for that to happen.
