However, I can't bring myself to read it after hearing him speak at Rez Week at UT....He was trying to make the point that you didn't need to learn about other religions to know that Christianity was right, and he compared this to not needing to sleep with other women to know you liked your wife. This really didn't sit well with me, how can you compare learning to infidelity and ignorance to loyalty? It struck me as totally backwards, and honestly, kind of ticked me off a little. Glad you enjoyed the book. Maybe one day I'll get over this incident enough to actually pick it up. I’ve been curious about this book since friends of mine have been so obsessed with it.
