One of the things I find disgusting about christians is that they are nearly always unwilling to consider alternate views . . . anything that conflicts with what they think they know about the bible, they will shun . . . if it expounds on something that conflicts with their "faith", they will not bother to learn about it . . . .
Some nationalists are the same way . . . they think that they have a corner on world reality, based on their narrow view of the world, based on nothing more than the venomous main stream American media.
.
It is their bible. It is their absolute truth.
.
In either case, they are nothing but parochial-minded individuals who are not only easily manipulated, but have no understanding of the advantages of seeing points of view that come from other sources.
These folks were born ignorant and will die ignorant. There is nothing wrong with reading ANY view, even when it is an opposing view . . . . they probably think Sun Tzu is a new orange flavored drink.

"Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster." Sun Tzu

In fact, you can read Mein Kampf, and still learn things from it, it is what you take into it, and what you leave with, just because you read something does not mean you have to agree with it, the idiots who think otherwise, as I said, will die ignorant.
