I don’t know who originally had the brilliant idea of stating the well known proverb about how bank tellers are not shown fake money, instead real money, in order to easily spot the “different looking” forgery. I’ve heard this a thousand times, every time it is to discourage the idea of trying bad or different things just to learn about them but instead encourages people to simply know the good and avoid the learning about the bad.
Though this method may work in the banking world it should be rethought for the rest of the world. For example, a pet peeve of mine, I have seen countless Christians ready to condemn things they have not taken the time to understand. It isn’t always that they are wrong to condemn these things but it sure makes them look stupid when they show their ignorance when questioned about what it is they don’t agree with....”well, umm, people told us that it wasn’t what we believe, but I don’t know why for sure” Even the forerunners in persecuting many ideas really have no idea what they are persecuting, what they disagree with or even what THEY really believe. Come on people, if you want to take a stand I applaud you, but please know what you are standing for! Furthermore, try a little harder to understand those you claim to stand against, use your minds as well as your hearts and you won’t constantly look so foolish. I mean, please! Sorry....just a pet peeve that got on my nerves ; )
