"You don't have to take God to anyone.  God is already with everyone.  So,
rather than taking the approach that you need to take the truth out to
people who need it, adopt the approach that you need to go find the truth
that others have and you are missing.  Go be evangelized."    from

All it takes to change
Globe and Mail 8/9/2011

"To change the beliefs of an entire community," says Discovery News, "only
10 per cent of the population needs to become convinced of a new or
different opinion, suggests a new study done at the social cognitive
networks academic research center at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute.  At
that tipping point, the idea can spread through social networks and alter
behaviors on a large scale."

When physicians were given a gift a bag of candy they were better at
integrating case information and less likely to become fixated on their
initial ideas and coming to premature closure in their diagnosis.  --  Some
study I read about somewhere
