Default The Year of Living Biblically

I'm right now listening to A.J. Jacobs on CoastToCoastAM. He wrote the book 'The Year of Living Biblically' about his attempting to follow all of the rules and laws in the Bible. It sounds like a humorous read.

Shame you are not a bit more skeptical..... you would make a good agnostic
Though I would find out more before I started casting stones

Yes, it's a pretty good read; rather humorous in spots. I think he let's religion off pretty easily, though, but the part where he tries to follow the orders regarding stoning people (he drops a pebble on their feet) was funny.

I give him big points for being so patient and not laughing at the wrong time, don't think I could do it.
