I believe a family member or someone close to him (a friend?) studies Sumerian Culture and gave him inspiration for that. He may have mentioned it in an afterward, I forgot where I read that... still yeah where we could read up more on that would be cool.
I thought it was really interesting in Snow Crash how Juanita (a Catholic) doesn't believe the story of Jesus's resurrection. She claims that it was the Church's attempt to wrest back control of the religion. I'm not Christian but the very idea is really intriguing. Was there a particular source or research for this theory? What about your perspective on religion in general?
