Loosely inspired by how much people seemed to enjoy a similar question I asked on Games about unappreciated titles. But answers don’t have to be media related (they still can be though).

    I’m also an atheist who’s read most of the major religious texts, and you’re right, this is the best way to read them. If I’d sat there going, Ha ha, this is all very illogical, I can prove this didn’t happen… well, I wouldn’t have had a lot of fun!

    I love the bit early in the Mahabharata where two brothers keep fighting and causing chaos. Eventually the gods get annoyed at them and turn one of them into a turtle and the other into an elephant. BUT! They find a shallow lake, so that they can keep fighting, but that causes loads of flooding, so then another god (who’s a bird) comes and picks them up and puts them in a giant tree.

    Absolute classic, pure mad mythology.
