It's all about interpretation.
Religion doesnt exist in a building, or a book. It exists or doesnt exist inside you.
Most of the symbolism goes much further back than people who wrote and/or compiled the stories of the christian bible. Myths much older than 2000 years. Truisms and "you fill in the blank" type of things.
Every so often someone pops up that many feel embodies the virtues they seek within themselves, and are praised or even worshipped.
This stuff isn't mystery, it's a much simpler thing which is how it can ring true and deep in both the simplest and greatest of people.
Now, back to the beer bongs. Who's hit is it anyway?
