I'm starting to get tired of it myself. Time for a game changer.

No one is going to take the time to read an entire book. How about the Cliff Notes version?

Maybe just a one sentence compilation?

It's a very short read. It was the inspiration for John Heinlen's "Job: A Comedy Of Errors".

[QUOTE=SouthernUnkleRitchie;2691875]Religion is complicated with paradoxes.

Do you like quotes:

"There is story ... which is fairly well known, told about when missionaries came to Africa, that they had the Bible and we, the natives, had the land. And then they said, "Let us pray", and we dutifully shut our eyes. And when we opened them, why, they now had the land and we had the Bible."
Desmond Tutu

"Lighthouses are more helpful than Churches"
Benjamin Franklin

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the philosophers as false, and by the rulers as useful".
Seneca the Younger

"When I was a young boy, my father taught me that to be a good Catholic, I had to confess at church if I ever had impure thoughts about a girl. That very evening I had to rush to confess my sin. And the next night, and the next. After a week, I decided religion wasn't for me."
Fidel Castro

Twain was some of the first books I read. Fun stuff!

Now, you have me wanting to read it!

"Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet."

I decided heaven wasn't really for me, after I discovered my ex-wife has intentions on ending up there!

I am not sure heaven is big enough for the both of us!
