I guess my approach is a little different. I read "The Communist Manifesto" and other stuff by Marx because I wanted to understand communism. I read "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" and other works by Ayn Rand because I wanted to understand libertarianism. I read the Bible because I want to understand God. And I think that that reading, and the little understanding I've gained from it, helps me understand the deficiencies in both communism and libertarianism, as well as the infinite goodness of God. For me, it's not about reading something to understand why it's good, I read about it in order to simply understand it. Then, I believe, I can make a better judgment as to whether or not it is good. May this day bring you blessings!
