But those people wouldn't buy his book. So why not write for the people who would give him money? :)
- jzb 4y agoHeh. Fair point. It would, indeed, be an uphill climb. I sometimes wonder, though, if a masterful person could author a book that the intended audience would read and sow seeds of doubt that would lead to questioning belief. (Or perhaps such a book exists and I don't know about it.) But, yeah, if you want to sell books then I suppose that's the better approach.
