Very nice article. Here's a brief blurb:
Prominent secular and atheist commentators have argued lately that religion "poisons" human life and causes endless violence and suffering. But the poison isn't religion; it's monotheism. The polytheistic Greeks didn't advocate killing those who worshiped different gods, and they did not pretend that their religion provided the right answers. Their religion made the ancient Greeks aware of their ignorance and weakness, letting them recognize multiple points of view.
First Pan's Labyrinth and now:
Death - The High Cost of Living
Status: In Development
GDT's Role: Producer
And if that wasn't enough he's also doing:
At The Mountains Of Madness
Status: In Development
GDT's Role: Writer & Director
What GDT Had To Say
"Someone suggested a love story and other things- but I won´t do it. HPL didn´t see it fit and neither do I."
And finally,
Boi-Yah!
True Bay Area Native
You scored 18!
16-18 correct - You're a true Bay Area native - and you even got some of the EXTRA CREDIT questions! Impressive. Feel free to look down on Los Angeles with pride. (You probably already do.)

And I wasn't even born in the Bay Area. I grew up in SParks and I remember watching TV20 like it was the promise land...especially the SciFi show in the afternoon with the robot sidekick that looked suspiciously like the new plastic garbage bins.
