It was a primitive way for people to explain the meaning of the Universe & Life. Unfortunately we have never been able to shake our primitive tribalism. Shame. Imagine all the progress in all facets of human endeavour we would have without religion.
I feel sadness when I think instead of fanatics like Dostoevsky, Dante and T.S. Eliot, considered some of literature's best achievements, what else we could have achieved.

Actually, yes, I did, but only Old Testament. I didn't bother with NT since I don't read fanfiction.
