religious fervor

I once sat down and over three months read the whole bible from cover to cover! Later I read excerpts from the quaran and book of Mormon and hindu texts like the vedic verses. I find it awe inspiring to read the source code of a people. All the texts are similar! Just a slightly different message. Women's rights are even a section in the quaran. This all makes me think that faiths just get customised to a culture and makes me more open minded to see foreign values in action.
