i find the greek fairytales far more entertaining than the myth if the crucified jewish wonderboy (who is really pagan in origin). the greeks had healthier minds, i think, than the 2000 years of christianity that followed.

Having children adds a new perspective to religious belief. The wishful thinking of an afterlife is easier to go along with if you're talking about somebody you love more than anything.
