You bros should check out God's Debris, by Scott Adams, the dude behind the Dilbert cartoons. As you can imagine by the title, it's nothing really like Dilbert. It's a philosophical puzzle that makes you think about and question the existence and shape of the concept of "god." It's really interesting and it's a short(ish) story that is, as Adams describes it, a "thought experiment." Really good. Spend the hour or two it takes to read it (linked below).

Otherwise, if you want actual suggestions for books, check out Snow Crash, House of Leaves, Oryx and Crake, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.

How about the Bible, you soulless heretic.

[I'll probably read it sometime.]

I really don't think It's funny amp, perhaps the first time, but at this point it seems like you're trying to impress your views on others.

Well, it wouldn't be the internet until somebody takes a joke post serious way too seriously. (Also, to my knowledge this is the first time I've gotten anywhere near the topic of religion on this forum as I don't care enough to talk about it.)

Actually, since you decided to post, maybe you should answer why you keep mentioning me in quite a few of your posts for no real reason? It was funny perhaps the first time, but at this point it seems like you're trying to impress your views on others. :lol:

Riot let me borrow Bakegyamon. I was told that both Cloud Strife and Kono (Kontobishimaru) have a nearly identical moral compass, but I'm just not into Final Fantasy enough to care.

Its still better than House of Leaves, I'll give him that.

Ew I wouldn't be caught dead with Chaddy books like that. I only read true 100% pseudo-intellectual gimmickry. But for real House of Leaves is pretty amazing you just have to get a ways into it before it all starts to get a little crazy.
