@HouseHaunter445 Harry Potter will probably end up selling more. It's more believable, too.

This book will be forgotten in a short while, but the Bible will remain the worlds BEST SELLER.

Thank you for the review. That looks like a great book! The kind of foundation everyone should have. I will look for it in the bookstore.

I think part of the rise of fundamentalism in the world is a result of futureshock. We live in a uncertain time where there's a lot of social and political change going on and people get freaked out by change forced upon them and they react by looking for certainty and sadly find it in religious fundamentalism which promises certainty.
