I can't even spit right now.
So many Christians hang on every word of the bible. I met some of them on the trip to Greece. Even went to the cave on Patmos where John wrote Revelations.
I'm sure many of them are coached on what to believe or not to believe, and how to interpret this or that. It's just so nuts.
Also went to Delphi, where the ancients believed in the oracles of the gods. People would go there to consult with these oracles or prophets of the gods, asking them various questions on what they should do or not do... and they would believe in whatever prophecies or advice they were given.
People WANT to believe so badly... especially in uncertain and tumultuous times.
After seeing all of those ancient ruins of very advanced civilizations of the past, and all the mythology and history that was part of it.... well, I have to wonder what the ruins of our present civilizations will look like thousands of years from now, and what god(s) or superstitions people will believe in then?
