16. Sometimes I feel funny being a "spokesman."

I have no religious tendencies, never did. I tried to get out of my Bar Mitzvah. Told the rabbi I didn't believe in any of this stuff. He shot me down good. He said, "What -- you think I believe it?" I had no answer for that.

To this day my rule is: I will participate in any religious observance where the food is good. Gimme a latke!

BTW, my "tribal" sensibilities were heightened by reading Isaac Asimov's books on the Old and New Testaments. Very informative.
