Everybody who calls themselves a Christian should read "The God Delusion." It's written by Richard Dawkins and it's dope as fuck. If you don't know history then you won't understand it, so don't even waste your time opening the cover if you're fucking retarded.

But word, the book is dope as hell. Check it out.

Oh, and just to clarify, I personally do believe that there is a God. However, I don't associate my beliefs with any religion and I think that Christianity today is complete bullshit. Richard Dawkin's book spends a lot of time on the Bible and it's a really interesting read.

is it a new book or can you get it in like say....the library?

I checked a copy of it out from a library, so word. WORD.

i do security weekends so i end up going to the library to pick up good books to read to pass the time
what other books you think are good, i need to fill a 8 hour shift with reading

I don't know, what type of books do you like to read?

im open to anything at least once, i read it all fiction and non fiction
just shoot me some of your favorite titles and ill check em out

Ahaha, I don't really know. Over the summer I was really into Dan Brown and I read the four novels that he has out. Right now I'm getting into John Grisham's novels. I read his non fiction book (The Innocent Man) and that book was pretty crazy. A month or two ago I read a sci-fi book even though I usually hate that shit and it turned out to be a book that I really liked. It's called Ender's Game, if you haven't read it I'd recommend it. You'll look at it and be like, " This shit looks gay as fuck." because that's what I was like when I went to check it out, but it was a great read. After I finished reading that book I read Ender's Shadow which is just like, a parallel of Ender's Game told from another character's perspective. I'd recommend that book too. It was dope. I had to do a school project on a book called Midwives which is written by Chris Bohjalian and that actually turned out to be pretty good. I don't know what books you've read, but if you haven't read 1984 I'd definately check that out. That book was excellent and probably the best book I've read this year. I don't know, uhh. . if you have a ton of time on your hands you should read War and Peace. I heard it's a good ass book, I just know I don't have the time on my hands that I'd need to finish it in a decent amount of time. Apexx recommended a book called The Secrets of Life which I'll look to check out the next time I hit up the library. I don't know, man. I'll get more ideas later.

u can proly DL it from limewire....though that wont help you away from home unless u can use a laptop @ work

Well you don't need evidence to prove that God is a delusion, nobody can demonstrate his existence without putting some obscure stupid aphorism that somehow tries demonstrate it, but really just makes it more complicated. But I guess you mean as to support evolutionary theory. I love Dawkins, but I can agree with that, he never actually puts the evidence out, but if you read his books he's damned good at it.

lol and where the "evidence" that evolution and all that jazz is real?.......u know how many lies there are in the text books.......if you look at the map they take AFRICA all the way out........i personally stay out of all this cuz i really dont care and i already know what i belive..but......just people like this make me laugh

You think that there's no proof that evolution has occurred? You think everything that's around today was around when the world was first created? Okay, man.

I must ask... What is it you believe? What is your idea of God, the afterlife, existence? You might be ruining yourself, by "knowing what you believe" so adamantly.

Where is the evidence for evolution? Is that a trick question? All over the earth, in the fossils they have dug up... Paleontology, comparative embryology, comparative anatomical studies, molecular biology and genetics, behavioural studies... The amount of evidence supporting the theory of evolution is so vast you might as well not consider it a theory anymore. It is basically fact. Does it disprove the existence of God? Of course not, it fits right in with anything mentioned in the bible, but maybe you didn't know that.

Now tell me... Where is the "evidence" that christianity and all that jazz that you believe so strongly is real? Lets recap on what you've said. You said there is no evidence for evolution that can be trusted, because in text books there are sometimes lies?

Pause.

[Notice, your beliefs are christian, christianity is based ONLY on a book. What makes this book immune to being loaded with false information? What, you refuse to believe the theory of evolution which has abundant real evidence that you can go and see for yourself if you have any qualms, yet you believe wholeheartedly in a cut up and edited composition of books specially chosen because they put across a certain message that people like to hear? A message, I might add, that is grossly misinterpreted by the masses.]

Let's continue...

So you stay out of the way of this sort of stuff? You have your beliefs in your mind, bolted and deadlocked, completely unchangeable by any amount of reason, sense, wisdom or experience. Typical christian behaviour. Also known as closed mindedness.

Do I make you laugh? I also would not believe the modern take on christianity for a single second, as they ignore the nuances in their own scriptures. I know God, I know the devil, I know heaven and hell, and they are NOT expressed well in christianity. Some christians know what they are on about (and the bible is quite sound when not solely relied on), but the rest, the majority, don't have a clue.

However, my beliefs are not absolute. I could change them, add or subtract, and it wouldn't matter. The folly of your philosophy lies in it's rigidity... But before I go on, I'll let you explain yourself.

What is it you believe?

(by the way, don't get defensive... Im trying to help you.)
