It's cool, I lived in a theological seminary for some years while my Mom was studying to become a minister. Add that to an interest in ancient history, and your rant is pretty interesting! The bible as fiction based loosely on real events makes a hell of a lot more sense than "every word of this book is true and if you say otherwise you must burn!" And the sheer number of pagan elements "adopted" by Christianity creates even more evidence that the bible was basically a marketing scheme designed to convince heathens. I'm also at least 75% sure that if the Romans had not invaded Gaul and Britannia, Christianity would not be such a dominant religion today, since France and England pretty well had most of the globe conquered at one point, and they brought their religion with them.

Unpossible, so I'll actually own what I say. This will immediately reveal my political party. However, that doesn't take any courage in my town.

I may up the ante with a hat.
