The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
    but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

I used to listen to the Art Bell Show on the radio; it was always interesting and fun to listen to. Mr. Bell always had interesting guests who espoused weird ideas. Oh yes, it was a very weird late night talk show…

The guests advocated all kinds of strange notions; space aliens, ghosts, big foot, conspiracies… you name it, but they had one thing in common. You see, most of them would take any bit of information they could find, and assert that it “proved” their point. Mr. Bell had early advocates of Global Warning on his show; he even made a movie about it along with another guy who was a regular on the Program telling stories about how he had been abducted by space aliens…

I often read things written to “prove” that God does not exist. Often, they mock God or mock those of us who believe in God; they call us delusional. They claim to be enlightened, but they may as well have been guests on the Art Bell Show, because they seem to grab on to anything at all, and claim that it “proves” something.

They seek wisdom, but they find none because their aim is only to prove a point and mock those who aren’t buying their twisted logic. On the other hand, knowledge comes easily to the discerning because they will listen to evidence and discern the truth even if it wasn’t what they hoped to hear. I am not claiming any particular knowledge or wisdom, but I will tell you that I was willing to be convinced about space aliens, ghosts, and even Global Warming, but there would need to be hard evidence. Name calling isn’t evidence. To say that a report showing that a UFO sighting was actually an airplane, proves that there are space aliens, because the report must have been part of a conspiracy, doesn’t prove anything either.

Funny thing, this is the point at which they call me names: Sounds like mocking to me!
