‘I come from a home that you people call liberal,’ he said. He turned to the second student: ‘Why did you come?’

You don’t really care about these things you’re just goofing off. I’m a graduate student myself, and I don’t have time – I do not have the hours at my disposal to engage in endless discussions with people who are just playing around.’ ‘Look,’ Dave replied, ‘I’ll loan you some books on world religions I can show you how I understand Christianity to fit into all this, and why I think biblical Christianity is true – but you’re just playing around. When this Bible study started I thought I’d get to know a little more about Christianity – that’s why I’ve come.’ĭave looked at him for a few moments and then said, ‘Sorry, but I don’t have time for you.’ So I’ve been reading some material on Buddhism, I’ve got a Hindu friend I want to question, and I should also study some Islam.

The two of us did not want to be outnumbered, so initially we invited only three people, hoping that not more than two would come. I had the mouth, I fear, so by default it fell on me to lead the study. That fellow was godly but very quiet and a bit withdrawn.
