The Christian establishment discourages that kind of stuff for a reason. I personally appreciate your healthy appetite for knowledge. Have you studied some comparative religion and philosophy? That's a good place to start when you're asking questions about religion, assumptions, and belief.
Here and there, but generally I have not. If you have good reads avaliable now would be a good time to suggest them as I am looking to expand my library in this area!

Quote:As for Hezekiah the Judahite, who did not submit to my yoke: forty-six of his strong, walled cities, as well as the small towns in their area, which were without number, by levelling with battering-rams and by bringing up seige-engines, and by attacking and storming on foot, by mines, tunnels, and breeches, I besieged and took them.
From Sennacharib's Prism - Cuneiform inscription 8th century bc)
Hope you make out better than the first Hezekiah.
That legit made me laugh!
