The Associated Press and MTV recently did an extensive survey with 1,280 young people between the ages 13-24. They asked them 100 questions about what in life makes them happy. Nearly three-quarters of young people said their relationship with their parents makes them happy. The leading answer as to who they considered to be their hero was answered as either their mom, dad, or both parents. But when it came to a person outside this circle the leading answer was Martin Luther King Jr. Now what is Martin known for? Uhm, his stance for civil rights. And how did he do this? With NONVIOLENCE! Who else campaigned for these rights? Malcom X. But who considers him a hero? What did he stand for? VIOLENCE! Seems the nonviolent win out even for 13-24 year old children! And what does the Bible say about out of the mouth of Babes?

The Bible is open to those that want Truth, and if they want Truth, they find Truth. They watch individuals squabble over Bible symbolism on the Internet, and leave the Message boards to enter into the real world where live people dwell, and they find Truth. The World Wide Web is full of Internet Ayatollahs who speak their mind. There is only one Truth, and it is not hidden. No matter what anyone says, Truth still converts the sincere.
