Just A Thought ~ NOT PROOF ENOUGH

“Do not consider a thing as proof because you find it written in books, for just as a liar will deceive with his tongue, he will not be deterred from doing the same with his pen. They are utter fools who accept a thing as convincing truth simply because it is in writing.”

~ Moses Maimonides, Jewish philosopher of the 12th century ~

So many of us naively assume that just because a thing is found in a book regarded as sacred it must automatically be true; we do not assume the same about recent books, whose authors might still be around to be questioned, and moreover, are seen as humans just like us. If we would read objectively, with open minds, instead of with minds already made up, we would surely see that many things in the old books are obviously and glaringly incorrect.
