I recently finished the Everworld series by K. A. Applegate, which was good, but by no means was is the best series ever. It's still my favorite series I've read so far. Right now I'm reading Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's about fluffy bunny rabbits and it's awesome.
As for nonfiction, I'd say my least favorite of what I've read would have to be This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff. He had a hard life, okay. But lots of people have much harder lives and don't write books about it. Nothing good can come of reading that book. It's boring and dull and it doesn't offer any inspiration or hope or anything, just dull depressing crap. Don't read it.
I don't have a favorite nonfiction book.

Homeland. Except I was thinking best rather than worst when I voted, so subtract one from BoE and add one to Homeland.

Now that you mention it, Alo, I brought the Garden of Eden up at Desp.

quote:
Originally written by The Almighty Doer of Stuff:

Secondly, the creation story of Adam and Eve. This is what happened in 10th grade English class while we were studying creation myths (when I say "myth" I refer to any and all stories about any given religion and in no way intend to imply falsity). The teacher said he had to leave the room. He put his bag of stuff on a desk in the middle of the room and said "Do whatever you want while I'm gone, but don't touch the bag in the middle of the room!" then left. People did stuff, threw things, etc. Inevitably, someone opens the bag. The teacher, who was secretly watching through the window in the door, bursts in and says "Aha! I caught you!" Then he told us the meaning of the exercise and its relation to what we were about to study, which was the creation myth of Adam and Eve.

God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and said "I'm going away now. Do whatever you want, but whatever you do, don't eat the shiny red fruit on the big pretty tree right in the middle of the Garden!" They did whatever and ate whatever and whatever, and inevitably they ate the fruit, and got shows up and says "Aha! I caught you!"

Where am I going with this, you wonder? God is omniscient, correct? Therefore, knowing that red is the color that attracts the most attention, that big things attract more attention than smaller things, and that humans are naturally curious creatures, and, even disregarding the previous three points, being all-knowing, he must have known beforehand that Adam and Eve were going eat from the tree. Therefore, either the Bible is not telling you the whole truth when it says God didn't want them to eat from the tree, or it's not telling you the whole truth when it says God is infallible.

Therefore, either way, the Bible is lying to you.

Aside from sensical not being a word... It makes sense to me. I very often have a physical tingling sensation when I worship, pray, read the Bible, and write stuff like this. I have felt it over and over and over. I cannot, by my own power, replicate the feeling, but it has been replicated so often that I cannot scientifically deny the connection. I do A, B happens. Again and again and again. Cause and effect. I cannot show it to you but it is proof to me.
I very often get a physical tingling sensation when I listen to Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant or Ozzy Osbourne - Dreamer. Does that mean I should worship Billy Joel and Ozzy Osbourne? I'm sure there's someone more knowledgeable in regards to this tingling phenomenon than I, so I'll let whoever that is explain what it is.

quote:
A perfect and holy tyrant, who is worthy of being praised. Those who submit to his authority though would never consider him a tyrant. A tyrant from the outside looking in. A glorious, welcoming king from the inside looking out.
The same could be said of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, or Mao Tse Tung. Yet these three people are usually regarded to be very evil people, despite what good all of them did for their countries. What makes God any different?

(I am a guy, by the way, so I am not necessarily representative of women. Nor am I necessarily representative of men.)
I, personally, like to wear clothes that I like, not because others think they look good (because they certainly don't, but because I think they look good and they make me feel good. I am wearing a Trogdor The Burninator hoodie right now, for instance. Not fashionable at all (actually rather childish) and it isn't particularly flattering on me. It's not even very comfortable compared to my other three hoodies. It's a little too small. But I like it anyway because I like the way it looks.
As for the issue of thongs not being comfortable, I have something to say. And no, I don't wear them myself, to anticipate the otherwise inevitable comment from Alec and/or TM. I don't talk much in school, but the others around me do, which means I get to hear a lot of conversations. During one that I remember, several girls were talking about their underwear. Most of them said that thongs were much more comfortable than regular panties. Only one disagreed, and she had never tried on a thong. It's just like the ever-present "boxers or briefs" discussions that occur between men. Many men will say that boxers are more comfortable than briefs, but I disagree. It's all a matter of personal opinion. I find the fact that it's only the males in this discussion who are saying that today's women's fashions are uncomfortable. How would you know? Even if you had tried on a women's thong, there's still the fact that they weren't designed to accommodate male genitals. The only ones mentioned in this thread that I haven't heard many people are high heels, which I've noticed the majority of girls at my school dislike wearing, and tube tops, which I've never heard any woman one way or the other whether they were comfortable or not.

EDIT: Removed redundant repetitiveness.

A few days ago, I finished the Everworld series by K. A. Applegate. In it, all the gods of the old religions nobody believes in anymore, such as the Greek, Roman, Celtic, Aztec, Egyptian, and Norse gods, got bored of our world (the Old World, as they call it) and decided to create their own universe (Everworld) and move in. Not that this really adds anything too relevant to the discussion, but I figured I'd say it anyway.
As for punishment after death, I tend to think more about the reward and heaven aspect than punishment, partly because I like to think that if there is any punishment, it is not eternal, and that after the punishment is done, you go to heaven.
It's all I can do to keep a grasp on my sanity.

And of course, this is the first I've heard of any of this.
Not that I don't believe you, of course, but I'm just commenting on how I always manage to be ignorant of everything.

EDIT: (This in regards to Alec's post, of course. I saw the news shortly after he was pronounced dead.)

Not really. It's fairly difficult to come up with a way to impale yourself with a scooter, let alone survive it. The fact that it was April Fools Day just made it even more suspicious.
I was never any good at April Fools jokes. When I was little, I used to point at people and say "Look! There's a crocodile(/elephant/lion) on your head!" Then they'd humor me and put on a show of shock and I'd shout "April fools!" Just for my own amusement, I IM'd several people today and said "OMG THERE'S AN ALIGATOR ON YOUR HEAD!" But I don't really do April Fools Day.
By the way, www.oddtodd.com and www.homestarrunner.com have their traditional April Fools jokes up today. Tomorrow there will probably be a link to the prank on Todd's main page, and H*R should too, but if not it can probably be accessed by clicking on Toons and then Holiday. Both sites have been doing pranks for a couple years and they are also available on the sites.[/shameless plugs]
