I followed your link to Thrasymachus, and found something rather odd.

He says (talking about college stuff):

> One explanation is absent: that non-believers don’t believe because, after

So that is all totally weird. The college Christians have come right out at the top with their explanation: its the Divil, guv. And T then totally ignores that. Why?
