There is a humorous poem by John Godfrey Saxe about the four
blind Hindus who went to see an elephant. They could not see
the elephant, but they told what they had seen. One happened to
lean against the elephant and declared it was much like a wall.
Another got hold of his tail and described him as being like a
rope. Another got his trunk and said he was like a serpent, and
the fourth ran against his tusk and said he was shaped very much
like a spear. The fact is that they had not seen the elephant at
all.
So there are objectors who have never seen Christianity at all. They
have seen mere fragments. Their criticism is correspondingly worthless.
