POLL DESCRIPTION

In the discussion that led to this, we decided to leave out things that "nobody" understands, i.e., being confused or just put off by a book is fundamentally different than misinterpreting it… We also decided to exclude all religious texts from the discussion, as they would easily dominate. Also, pointing out someone's important truth to be a misinterpretation, misquote, or just entirely fabricated material does not lead to pleasant discussions.
