Cool video, Esquire reporter and agnostic Jew lives biblically (apart from the more insane/illegal stuff) for a year.

Really great video and seems like a very rationale and even approach, I really like the ritual part and the cafeteria.

I actually read the book, and found it to be pretty funny. What was interesting was the fact that he mentioned that he was supposed to stone adulterers (after he commented on Jacobs' getup), and a man (in his seventies, if I remember correctly) told him he was one, and so he was obligated to stone him. He did so, but didn't hurt the guy.

Love how he talked about the creation "museum" positively and then at the end called them nuts, also how he described the mental gymnastics though to rationalise their literalism.

The part about not being able to sit where a menstruating women has was pissing off his wife so she sat in every seat in the house to piss him off.

I loved that part. I read the book almost a year ago. I found it to be very funny. I have to tell you though, his wife was as understanding as any wife could or should be.
