7. It's a bizarre mindset that I've never really understood

that of thinking everything in existence can be explained by a Bronze Age book from the eastern Mediterranean.

I suppose it's why I'm a total geek with an unsympathetic view of religion. I've read the book and found nothing but a bunch of fairy stories, hazy history that suffered from too many retellings in oral histories, and true idiocy. Oh, there were a few riveting stories and some nice poetry, but it was hardly relevant outside its place or time.

I suppose I'd have been frequently fined for ditching church on Sunday or more likely burned as a witch.
