Well, your version is a lot less, um, <em>sweaty </em>than mine! I particularly like the way that the judeochristian mythology is so obviously derivative if you study ancient literature at all. To me it is a lot more interesting that humans found certain themes to be so repeatable that they stick to them through so many generations and iterations, I find it a lot more interesting to look for the germ of “truth” such as it may be found in that, but instead we end up arguing the literalness of “divine” word with the fundies.</p> <p>As you also said above, religious people in general “can’t think through the inherent contradictions between their religious views and the physical universe they live in.”</p> Ha!
