I looked at the world...

That play opened my eyes to how religion fanaticism motivates people.

It was then that I started to question things in a more adult way, a way that made me think on a deeper level.

Over the years that questioning made me realize that the Right Wing Bible tends to focus on the arcane laws written in the Old Testament.

They sprinkle in just a titch of Jesus and jumps straight to the fire and damnation of Revelation.

What gets to me about those who except the literal words of the Bible is that they truly believe the Prophets of the Old Testament spoke English and that the exact sentiment from 3,000 BC is conveyed across the centuries.

I wonder if they even realize that the text was written down after thousands of years of oral interpretation and then translated from the Hebrew to the Greek and the Armenian and then back to Latin and then finally to German and English.

So who exactly is speaking the true word of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ...

It is this certainty in their resolve that gets to me.

How many countless people have used the watered down words of the Bible to subjugate their fellow man, how many millions have been put to death in the name of God.

I guess the thrust of this post is to ask one question, what event or book or play provoked in you a true epiphany, opened your eyes to the way people manipulate others.
