In response to The Problem posted by pink101:
I guess I was saying that there's not much can be done about people who do not care about history. And, I was adding that that type usually adheres to some ideology they've picked up along the way.

My hunch is if you did an informal man-on-the-street survey about history you'd find that most people are largely indifferent. And don't we all, in a sense, have an ideology?
.
You and I agree that history is important, but giving up on those who don't know, and don't care to learn about, history doesn't seem like an answer.

I think Ollie's posts point out how little people really understand (as opposed to know) about matters of faith. I think they also point out what happens when faith becomes all about chasing factoids rather than looking within.

peace and love,
