On my way to bed, it occurred to me that just possibly (no, let's be fair, "very probably") I've far, far exceeded any interest that most of you had in the subject of just what it is I believe religiously and why I believe it. I say this because as I was getting ready for bed, it occurred to me the sheer number of subjects I haven't even touched on. Assuming that I talk about animal sacrifice, about Prometheus' deal with Zeus and its central role in the founding of free and democratic society tomorrow, I still won't have said anything about the Mysteries. I won't have said anything about Greek attitudes towards love, sex, and family life, and whether or not those attitudes are blessed by the gods, and whether or not we as Americans should care. I won't have tackled the thorny issues of Hellenic attitudes towards slavery. And I'll have only glossed over in passing how this world came to an end. Nor do I have the slightest idea how many other topics I'll think of before I finally admit that I'm done. And at the very least, I figure I owe y'all a bibliography, right? Well, maybe not.
Am I? Done, I mean? Have I exceeded this audience's patience for the subject, for now? Should I go back to dealing with news items, and politics, and books, and music, and interesting stuff seen on the internet? Or do you still want more on Hellenism and Hellenic reconstructionism now?
