Very much so. Although I find "thing = thing" therefore "thing = thing" simplifications annoying. It's funny, they admit that some bible stories are metaphorical and didn't happen to save themselves from it's inaccuracy, but then they claim it's perfect and base all their beliefs of it. Either you believe the entire bible or admit that "maybe it's made up".
I'm planning to write stuff for a living I guess, more critical stuff than anything literary, although I might try and get some of my thoughts written down and put together later in life if I'm in a comfortable enough position. Thanks for the kind words though dude, and nice profile pic, Reach should be epic.
