God Bless America: Strange and Unusual Religious Beliefs and Practices in the United States (Audiobook audio book) By Karen Stollznow, read by the author 2014 English mp3 [bobPocket]

Not to draw too fine a point here, but where do you draw the line when it comes to "magical thinking?" Is Minerva with her snake hairdo a bit strange? Is believing that your shaman is magically transforming crackers and wine into the flesh and blood of some Iron Age sage 2,000 years old a bit odd? What about Jesus' face on your cinnamon bun? Did the old testament God really commit multiple genocides, killing an estimated 20 million people, just to make room for his favored tribe? Did he tell the "first man," if he ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, he would die, and then let him live 900 years? How many million people are STILL waiting, two thousand years later for the "resurrection" of an executed Jewish rabbi? Did the Sun stand still in the sky, when we now know the Sun does stand still, relative to the Earth, as the Earth revolves on its axis. As Captain Mal Reynolds remarked to Shepherd Book in Serenity, "That's a long wait for a train don't come."

Hippocrates had it figured out 2,500 years ago when he wrote:
"People think that epilepsy is divine simply because they don't have any idea what causes epilepsy. But I believe that someday we will understand what causes epilepsy, and at that moment, we will cease to believe that it's divine. And so it is with everything in the universe."

Thanks!
