This book changed my lifeThe 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

I'd say I have to agree with the Thinker on thisEnzyme: while your arguments work with regard to most things - the box analogy particularly - religion is a different story.
it probably shouldn't be, but the way it seems to me, and to others judging by the above, is that an atheist has a belief that there is no God, and their belief can be just as strong as someone who believes there is.
It's kind of (but not quite) like saying, "No one has provided me with any evidence that the dodo existed, so I'm going to insist that it didn't exist until someone proves otherwise."
A kind of blinkered view. denying the possibility of something unless provided with evidence to the contrary.
edit: incrediblemonkeydoctor - I withdraw my comment that it is a religion. The trouble is, it depends on how you think of it. something that is never going to be the same person to person
