This book changed my life
The Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.
What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?
Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

LOL Atheism
Seriously; it's impossible to disprove something. Especially a matter of faith.
But there is an inherent problem in modern Atheism. Not only do they choose a select few texts upon which to base most of their beliefs, but they refuse to entertain the idea of them being wrong.
Theists: Believe THERE IS A GOD, will not listen to contradictory arguments.
Atheists: Believe THERE IS NO GOD, will not listen to contradictory arguments.
Agnostics: Don't believe in God, normally aren't interested in the arguments.
There is a distinct difference between an absence of belief, and a belief in absence.
For analogy time, I will mention I have a Box on my desk. But I won't tell you what- if anything- is in the Box.
Then I will laugh as the Christians KNOW what is in the Box. And the Muslims KNOW that the Box contains something else. And then, because there's no evidence that the Box contains what they say it contains, the Atheists will rush to declare their knowledge of the Box's emptiness.
And they will KNOW the Box is empty, with the same conviction that Christians KNOW that it contains whatever it contains.
Whereas the sane people will confess that they just, simply, don't know. Or, in all honesty, care all that much.
