Top 5
If you were going away forever and could take only five books (I am completely unable to pick just one), or if you were chosen to pick only five books to shoot into space to represent mankind (pick a scenario-they're very different), which ones would they be?
Mine?
I'll have to think about it for a little bit.

For the aliens:
Gone With the Wind
Time 1990 Year in Review (so that they can see that we learn from our mistakes)
A Brief History of Time (so that they can see that we aren't all stupid)
Pride and Prejudice (for fun)
Contact (also for fun) -

Aagh, I'd go stir crazy subsisting on the same 5 books. I can't begin to imagine.

That's why I picked the alien scenario. I can't do it, either. I have three enormous book shelves positively overflowing with books (I need another one). One is strictly reference, though. I've picked up a couple hundred text books and reference books at junk stores for 25 cents to $2. Every one a treasure. My 2 favorite references are The Joy of Lex and 1066: The Hidden History in the Bayeux Tapestry
My novels, though... I just can't pick.

I can't decide, but your question made me imagine how many god believers would put the bible first, even though they haven't read it. Sick.

It depends, where I am going to.
A dictionary of the language
A grammar of the language
A book of the history of that place
A book about the laws and rules of the place
A guidebook including maps of the place

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
