Someone just asked me why I was displaying my religious beliefs on this blog. They had seen the link to The Year of Living Biblically and assumed I was proseletyzing on behalf of literal Biblical interpretation. In case you were worried, you can relax. I don't exactly make a great spokesman for such things, even if I were a proponent. AJ Jacobs, however, has written a very funny and enlightening book that demonstrates some of the absurdities of anachronistic hangovers that continue to "inform" our culture. The sheer number of extreme beliefs and believers he connects with on his journey are enough to give one deep pause about why everyone's so confused and conflict reigns supreme.
