Many of us know how fucked up you really are so to see that you think even negative, insulting attention is a nice thing comes as no surprise. You're the type that thinks even negative attention is a good thing. You're a freak.

I'm embarrassed for other adults who pretend that one of our books is magical.

True, I haven't. I suspect that I wouldn't shape my life around that book either.

Spice, MF. Spice.
I have read many books that changed me in one way or another. Learning is changing. Thinking something new is changing. Seeing another POV is changing.
The Bible isn't a bad book. It is boring as fuck, but the premise is a good one. I like religious works. I just don't happen to favor that one above all others.

That's true, but I wasn't talking about learning and growing from literature or other sources of knowledge and insight. I was really referring to the child-like and emotional needs of people to buy that one of our books are from a celestial entity, or to put it another way, their habit of pretending one set out of many myths are true. Don't EVER scoff at Zeus, bitch.

They kept it outside? That was maybe a bad idea. Not that keeping body parts is a good idea...

Laid to rest in her best clothes and lying on an ornamental bed, she was probably of noble blood.
Quite how the 16-year-old Anglo Saxon girl died and who she was remain a mystery.
But she was buried wearing a gold cross – suggesting she was one of Britain’s earliest Christians.
Her well-preserved 1,400-year-old grave has been discovered by Cambridge University scientists, who described the find as ‘astonishing’.
The burial site at Trumpington Meadows, a village near Cambridge, indicates Christianity had already taken root in the area as early as the middle of the 7th century.
It was not long after St Augustine, a monk in Rome, was sent by Pope Gregory the Great to convert the English in the year 595.
Starting in Kent, his team of 40 missionaries slowly worked their way around the country and he became the first Archbishop of Canterbury two years later.
But progress is thought to have been slow and sometimes difficult, and Christians and pagans co-existed for many decades.
The new find gives an insight into this transition period as she was also buried with a knife and glass beads to use in the next life – a pagan tradition of ‘grave goods’ which goes against Christian beliefs. Dr Sam Lewsey, an expert in Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, said: ‘This is an excessively rare discovery. It is the most amazing find I have ever encountered.
‘Christian conversion began at the top and percolated down. To be buried in this elaborate way, with such a valuable artefact, tells us that this girl was probably nobility or even royalty. This cross is the kind of material culture that was in circulation at the highest sphere of society.’
The grave is one of 13 Anglo Saxon ‘bed burials’ to be discovered. Usually reserved for noble women, they involved being laid to rest on a wood and metal frame topped with a straw mattress. Such burials are not found after the 7th century.
The girl’s inch-wide gold cross, studded with cut garnets, has been dated to between 650 and 680AD.

When I was in Bahrain (one of the times I didn't just frequent bars), I went to the museum, I was fascinated by the old skeletons and the different cultural differences. When you see those skeletal remains in real life it's amazing. I can imagine seeing that in real life would be something special.
