I wish I had this professor at JMU

his comments on the esquire article are interesting

Idiot America, it's where people think the world is but 5,000 years old, that dinosaurs (if they existed!!?!) had saddles, apparantly ignore any evidence of evolution (forgot those stupid fruitflies!), and nothing in a book written years ago and was re-translated several times by man can be metaphorical (seriously Mary was a VIRGIN, water got turned INTO wine!), etc...etc.

Hey it's cool, I'm pretty sure that the Greeks and Romans would have been annoyed if they found out we dismissed their religious views as "mythology" too.
