It's not like, "Look how silly these religious people are, following these dumb rules!" He does his best for one year to follow the laws, commandments, and advice in the Bible. Sometimes he feels silly and is skeptical, but also discovers unexpected joy, peace, and understanding through the rituals he follows. It is not mean-spirited nor intended to ridicule.(less)
