Min favoritbloggare har ´a way with words´ på en nivå som jag själv bara kan drömma om att uppnå, och när hon (må vara i en gammal, arkiverad post) tycks läsa mina tankar så bara måste jag dela med mig. Enjoy;)

"I find the general Christian mythos sterile and tedious. Hell is the most entertaining bit, and again, that wasn't an original invention, and most of its charm is to the credit of Dante rather than Christianity (and we already established that it wasn't about the Christians.)

Satan's the most interesting one of the bunch, he gets pride and pathos and angst, but since he was an invention of the Persians, we can't even assign full credit there, and he doesn't even get to be more than a one-dimensional bad guy until Paradise Lost, which is a point for Milton, not the religion.

Notion of sin largely irks me, humdrum morality full of anachronisms and lacking nuance, deathbed conversions, puhleaze. Jesus is pretty boring. At least Hunahapu got to play ball, and Odin had pet ravens--and Dionysus got crazy drunken maenads tearing leopards apart with their bare hands. A bunch of unemployed fishermen does not even begin to compare in terms of imagery, so far as I'm concerned."
