    I love the Bible. I believe that it is the founding book of the culture and faith of the majority of the population of earth. I don't understand the reason for being or the point of the Bible, but then again, I don't understand why people give birth to other people, why we suffer and die, why the space outside of the universe is infinite, and why life is important -among at least a few other things. So, the Bible. It is a story that I believe was inspired by God, whom I can't begin to comprehend, which gives us direction on how to live our otherwise pointless lives in order to get closer to God and our fellow human beings, for some reason. Why not? We're all dead anyway, Richard Dawkins isn't going to judge us at the pearly gates of Darwin for how logical we were. Probably.

    Plus, I enjoy reading it.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
