"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

– Proverbs 1:7

I think what we have going on in the modern world is what this verse is talking about. We have knowledge of how thinks work, but that does not imply that we have wisdom. In fact we have strayed so far from the wisdom that God gave us in the Bible and the founders provided for us in their writing and our constitution that it pains me to see were we are going as a nation. We live in a world to lazy to read the great books of history. Aristole, Plato, Adam Smith, and the bible to name a few. All of western civilazation is built on the foundations that these books layed. I going to put a list on here soon of the great books of western civilization.
