Defence Against the Dark Arts

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.  Hebrews 11:1

The most difficult task that a human encounters is the search for truth. Every time we grasp for it we find someone who can speak or write to challenge our grasped beliefs. In a world filled with "truth," an information superhighway running through every class, living, and bedroom, how are we to extract The Truth. We have watched to see how easily we can be manipulated to believe, how can we guard ourselves against deception?

Reflect on how we determine what is true, both in the media and in the rest of our lives.

It is easy to believe in the mind, but belief in anything only gains credibility as a belief when it is put into action. Discuss how we then should live in a world of mass media.
