Huh, I'm actually surprised. Given all the anti-religion stuff in the media today, I wouldn't have expected the Bible to be the top book. I wonder who they polled, exactly?

Those results are surprising to me as well. I don't agree or disagree. I'm just surprised. Speechless, you might say. :blank:

It always amazes me when they do these polls and the answers they come up with. I always wonder if they polled a few more people would they come up with a different answer or result. I think so.

My favorite book would have to be the one I am reading at the moment, whatever it may be. 8)

his heart knows only virtue,
his blade defends the helpless,
his might upholds the weak,
his word speaks only truth,
his wrath undoes the wicked '

All the books on that list are incredibly boring in my opinion. But then again, the last book I read was how scientific explinations for the world contradict themselves everytime they discover something new, and the ones I'm on right now have to do with stupidity soon dominating the world and how mathmetiticians, artists, and musicians follow a similar line of work despite the differences they seem to show. Would you believe that I'm reading these books of my own free will? XD

You represent... apathy.You don't really show any emotion. You can be considered cruel and cold, but you just don't really care about anything. This is just the way you are... you're quite a challenge to get close to, and others may perceive you as boring.
Zeus was the Greek excuse for having no logical explination for lightning. Hades was for the death that baffled them. Posiedon tore apart at their shores. So Athena must have explained the people who didn't believe in the gods.
