This essay talks about state of "gullibility" of people in Roman Empire around the period when Christian gospels were written:
Kooks and Quacks of the Roman Empire: a look into the world of the gospels

Eric,
You are welcome.
Nicole,
Actually, I do think that because links look the same as any other text they are hard to find a lot of times.

Can you make a change in your stylesheet files to make links stand out a little more?
Thank you.
