Preface to a Legend of the Saint.

Human life is full of misunderstandings, Take devilry for a first example. The whole nonsense started over a labour dispute. Any moral colourings are truly applied by a prejudiced forger. However, this is the only skill a Theologian really possesses, after all they cannot be proved or disproved thus in essence all writings by theologians of whatever good are ultimately fabrications of faith. Doubt has made some of the best of saints, take the case of Thomas, or myself, both chided for daring to question something that seemed quite absurd or even insane. Scientists have difficulty being recognised for their sainthood for the same reason. In a word, Faith. Faith without experience is rather baseless and a poor foundation but, this is not a widely liked truth. It dares to say that without the support of some evidence that it is impossible to simply take another's word for fact. On a personal note I absolutely find it disgraceful that "Critical Thinking" not only is a course in University but, that it has to be forced upon. One is unwise to step into any instruction without having an independent mind, thus it is an insult to the student and a sad statement of society that this class is a "Core Requirement". If one cannot do it on their own what difference would a bloody class be in the end on the subject? Simply lecturing on thinking for oneself and methodical doubt to one who is not accustomed to living in this manner is furthermore psychologically disturbing. The closed mind will remain such and the mind that is open to the new lives the skill as the lungs take in air. All this really accomplishes is the lining of pockets and frustration for the liners thereof. By the insinuation you have guessed I have said a rude word and that Charlatans often go highly respected and rewarded with impunity. Again, Monumental Misunderstandings.
