» paper_turtle - The Problem

My question was:
not everyone finds history interesting. How do you propose to reach those who say, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"? Just telling them its important isn't going to open their ears.
.
Notice: I did not say I don't care. I said there are **others** who don't care about history, and are not going to pay attention if you talk to them from the POV of history.
.
What will you say to them?
.
Your response (below) didn't seem to provide any answer. I don't know to whom you are addressing your remarks? Where do you assume I stand in relation to what you said?

Maybe we can think of the problem as just one more burden we can cast on Jesus with all the rest that perplex us? Isn't that what we're taught to do?

God is still in control and, so, there's nothing we can do about it anyway. Don't even give it a second thought, right?
.
That's how we got to be where we are. Kinda like the dark ages, wouldn't you say?
.
And we have intelligent people telling us, "And, don't you forget it. It's all in [His] book of absolute truth."
.
How can you stand up against such supernatural reasoning? Buy into part of it, swallow the whole thing hook, line, sinker, and camel. Gulp.
.
And, I think there are many other options than the one you offer, immediately above.
.
peace and love,
