As an example, I have no idea what some tribal guy in the deepest jungle believes. But if I encounter him and his belief, I don't just go, "Wow! I never knew that!" and then consider converting. :P


how do you know that tribal guy isn't going to pull out an incredibly logical and reasonable argument? and it's not necessarily about converting, but perhaps losing faith in your own beliefs. it's also about being a light to others, being able to defend the faith for their sake.


That wasn't the point (but I suspect you know that). I was only saying that just because someone has not encountered the idea does not mean that they will instantly cave into it. There are billions of people on this planet and many of them have a variety of beliefs. We cannot be exposed to them all (nor would most of us want to be). Therefore, just because someone is not exposed to the belief does not mean they will instantly buy it. They might. They might not.
