"I'm beginning to think that at least part of the problem is that people are not so much interested in the truth..."

Beginning to think? The truth was long ago a casuality.

What we are witnessing is a "protestation" against authority, it has little or nothing to do with religion. It is the theological equivalent of Occupy Wall Street.

We are confronted daily by those who will only recognize their own authority in all religious matters. We are the targets because the impotence of their own direct dealings with the Church have not and will not change the Church. They camoflage their rebellion (oh so poorly) in a Sola Scriptura mantra but make no effort to hide their assertion that Scripture means exactly what they decide it does. Like petulant spoiled children it is all about them. That is precisely why I do not bother respond to them.

2 Cor.2:17 warns that there are "many which CORRUPT the Word of God." That was written in about 60 A.D. The TRUTH has been a fragile commodity for 2000 years. The question is: who was and is doing the corrupting? You have your opinions. And I have mine. So where does one go to find out? Well, if it's the Word of God that's being corrupted, then it only makes sense that God's Word would be the place to go to find the TRUTH. But that's just me.
