But is it just because we here in the Western world grow up with Abrahamic mythology that I find it so dull and unimaginative? I mean, Hindu myths blow Christian ones out of the sky! Is that just because I find them exotic? I like Greek myths and they're pretty "western Culture", y'know....

Anyway, I find Abrahamic mythology the most unoriginal and lame stuff around.
