Interesting question....although i don't particularly like religions in general....being told what to do by a big book 'written' by people thousands of years ago....
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Love unspoken, Faith unbroken, All life through, Strings are playing, Hear them saying, 'I Love You', Now the echo answers, 'Say you'll want me too', All the world's in love with love, And I Love You.
"So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.'"

I usually ignore a lot of it, but it gets annoyed when some religions think it's thier mission to convert me.
I'm religious. But. Each to their own I say. Freedom of choice and all that. Nowt worse than having it rammed down your throat if you ain't interested...

I was brought up a catholic...but when i was old enough to realise it was a load of crap and just a big red book of lies...like 'This Is You Life'

Some drunken kickass God got some woman pregnant... SO HE ATE HER. Y'know whats cooler than walking on water, EATING YOUR PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND.
A fact for you all:
Caligula's sister (also his wife) became pregnant. Then a soothsayer told him that their child would exceed him in prowess. So he did some of his own 'thinking' and thereafter promptly murdered his sister and actually ATE the foetus as directed by the 'seer' (who could see 'everything').
From what I remember this arose mainly because he believed himself to be a god and thus decided to copy the Roman equivalent of the story you refered to A_R.

Read Between the lines of the Little book~people always glam up stories. the bible was changed years ago for the beneifits of the first Christains, by a roman Empepor!
Paganism is pretty cool - as in the British version, not US witchcraft 'sisterhood' cults which are highly suspect. I like the simple ideas in British paganism - first principals, worshipping nature etc, If I weren't such an old cynic that would be my religion of choice.

Like a man living in a Whale.
Or a man making a few peices of bread and fish feeind thousands.
Or the whole human race coming from two people.
Or two types of EVERY TYPE of animal on the Earth into a boat.

The majority of any religion's stories are fantastical.
