So, my attempt at video blogging failed. I did make a video blog, however I was unable to post it to the website. I will try to summarize what I said in my video:
During class on Monday, the class (or more accurately the same few students) discussed (or more accurately argued) about the various kinds of the Christian religion, the Bible and its meaning, and Jesus, the Radical One. My question is (to Professor DKJ and anyone else who chooses to answer) why is it that Who Are We? by Pojman keeps turning back to religion when the question of the book is "who are we?" Is the answer to human nature religion? Do humans make up ideas because that is how they have to cope with the world around them?
If one is going to make any reference to the Bible, one has to realize that no one knows who wrote it. And, if they did write it, it is all opinionated bullshit similar to what I am writing right now. Why does one choose to listen to anything they read or hear? That answer is based off of some pre-cognitive decision of what the listener or reader already knows and is willing to know and know because of the world around him or her.
(I want people to know that I do not go over my posts before I post them, because then they would not be my free flowing thought, but rather some essay-like assignment that is not of my creative mind.)
(I do, however, use spellcheck.)
(P.S. I said none of this in my video)

Pojman is not trying to provide his pet answer to the question as much as introduce us to a number of compelling/historically significant answers. Secular, atheistic positions will emerge shortly.
