14. Without the wildly grandiloquent and bombastic cast of characters of religious fables.....
...and the inclusion of the necessary back-stories to fill-out the skeletons that these ancient myths also provide (thus rendering a raison d'etre), I would otherwise think that most religionists are very likely terribly boring people. People who've simply acquiesced to the demands of popular dogma and have given-up trying to figure out life upon their own responsibility. They have chosen to go along with the crowd and to accept what's already on life's teevee. They have accepted these rather incredulous myths over reason. And in spite of reason. They have chosen to believe in crazy tales of supermen and gods. Along with their panoply of sub-deities and the necessary angels of protection/destruction.

And are also probably the most exciting things about their lives -- at all. But then we'll likely never know.

- At least not as long as that endless loop of propaganda is all they hear playing in their heads......
