Gee .. and the thread wasn't supposed to really be a discussion about the books or the Games.

But since we've strayed in so many directions..
The bible makes use of places and events but i'd hardly call them as a telling of how it really was. word of mouth for couple hundred years before ever being wrote for the most part. much is fill in the blanks by later writers. then there's languange translations..... Then there's the newest version with street slang.... not a good topic to get me started on.

oh and followers of a lifestyle... zealots on all sides of nearly any issue.....
