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

proofFor me, the foundation for atheism is quite simple. All religious faith/belief is subjective - people believe in a multitude of things and deities, and most claim that theirs is the one true system. Their reasons for doing so may be personal, cultural or 'rational' .
They can't all be right - but they can all be wrong. True, atheism itself is a kind of belief and also subjective. But it doesn't - or shouldn't - traffic in absolutes and evangelism of its own. The safest and most rational response to the unexplained is simply "I don't know."
EDIT: there is plenty of proof that a person called Jesus existed and died. True, the evidence that he rose again is somewhat biased, but if you are going to distrust this 'historical' evidence, how much of the rest of history do we trust?
