[Dr. Eckleburg]

I have never had a battery go dead on a book. I have never had my book "die" while using it. The internet never "goes down" on a book. My book has never "crashed". I can take my book with me wherever I go. The availibility of the Internet is not a concern with a book. The last time I highlighted a passage on my computer I had a devil of a time cleaning it off. Further, it didn't stay with the passage I had highlighted. :) Etc. etc. etc.

Yes, I greatly appreciate my computer and the internet and I love my books.

Exactly!

Most important for me is that the internet can be "modified" to suit whatever agenda is being pushed.

No so with a book. The printed page does not change. The truth of the printed page remains for as long as that book remains.

Which all helps to explain why Protestants love the singular truth and unchanging clarity of the Scriptures, while Roman Catholics seem to prefer the variable and ephemeral declarations of fallible old men in long robes, fish hats and Prada shoes.
