I got interested in christian mythology when I was younger (maybe around 12) from authors like Dan Brown, and a couple of Tess Gerritsen's books. I hadn't really read the Bible at that point, and was a christian because in primary school we were never told about any alternatives (we had to go to church for all the major services, and sang hymns in the assemblies). The books piqued my interest enough for me to bother reading the Bible and found it 1) Far fetched and 2) Tedious.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
