Stupidity. What is it? Is is just something we see our neighbors and parents/kids do (and members of the opposite political party)? Or is it something more? Why does it seem to be so universal? Are there fundamentals of stupidity that can be recognized? These are the questions discussed in this volume. It presents six fundamentals of stupidity that lead to the stupid choices we see all around us. Included among these are the belief that there are no moral values, that God does not exist, and that it is acceptable to become addicted and to treat others badly and be proud. In the end, we see that the only sure way to avoid the fundamentals of stupidity is through the saving power of Jesus Christ.
