11. Actually, I AM religious.
It's just that I know the Bible better than most of these so-called religious yahoos AND I was never taught to take it literally. It's a series of parables written from the spoken words used to help man understand God's greatness in term man could understand hundreds of years ago.

The Bible's lessons are what is important and I'm one of the religious left who believes the Bible and science can happily co-exist: if you don't take the Bible literally and take the lessons it teaches about life figuratively.

Sadly, I haven't been to church in years. I left two churches in as many years because I was tired of the preacher/priest telling me who to vote for. I thought we fought the Revolutionary War to get religion out of our politics. Silly me.
