1 Peter 3:15 "...always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, that those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame"
Oh, I get it. I agree... at least not being able to read would destroy a culture. I'm not sure if our culture is defined by what we read, but it certainly couldn't exist as it does if we couldn't read.
Yes, a lot of cultures exist/existed without reading, but in the cultures that do have reading (like ours), reading is part of what defines our culture. Having that taken away would be taking away part of our culture. *shivers* scary thought
I like your quote a lot too Sam. Finding the kind of books you love and reading them is the only way to really be drawn to reading.

I don't know. There used to be lots of cultures who were illiterate. We don't know much about them but they still had a culture.
I like the second quote alot. It's perfect.
well gee thanks, since the second was my quote. and, very good point about other cultures. i hadn't thought about that.
LOL... I've considered doing that.
Well, not all cultures existed upon reading... but to yank reading away from a culture that was used to it would be disasterous.
