Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

So, then in your opinion, you and I (or anyone else for that matter), should not discuss topics in which we have not invested a PhD. of effort into mastering.

I wonder where I said that. Not studying the original texts yourself does not exclude discussing the findings of others. And there is nothing wrong with relying on work from others, without checking everything they did for yourself. We humans do this all the time, it's what separates us from animals. It's what allows us to 'stand on the shoulders of giants'. Why would we need to re-read age-old books, when the useful knowledge contained in them has been integrated into our societies already?
