I’m proud of you guys. Nobody said The Bible.
The Bible.
Happy now? And I mean it.
ULYSSES; James Joyce – I reread it once a decade and always find new issues.
the bible has sold more copies than any other book. I’m not a bible pusher just answering the question.
well, the bible is good :). But my favorite novel is The Lightning Thief.
The God Delusion,
***The Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius, Dave Eggers!!
and pretty much anything published by McSweeney’s http://mcsweeneys.net/
It hasn’t been written yet.

Thats an impssoble question to answer. But Ishmael is close. It should certainly replace the rotten, outdated, and backwards mythology of the bible.
mythology of the bible….......... Huh! My pick is still the bible. I admit it is harder for me to read then a Clive Cussler novel.
@Cardinal
Yes, mythology. In my opinion there will be a day far in the future (if humans make it that far) where it will be taught as “Christian Mythology” the same way we teach “Greek Mythology” to our children and funny stories of a big man upstairs controlling everyone with fancy mortal and immortal characters throughout.
And for anyone to knows alot about Christian and Greek mythology, they know how much of Christianity is borrowed (stolen) from the same Greek beliefs we mock and giggle at now.
“OMG, they actually believed that!? They’re so stupid!”.
It’s all about the social norm and conditioning. This is my thoroughly investigated opinion. You can choose to belive whatever you want, just as many choose to belive that the Holocaust never happened or that the moon landing was staged. Whatever makes you feel good inside.
The Plumed Serpent, DH Lawrence
Spargett nailed it concerning the bible and what it will be seen as in future generations. Religions change around every 2000 years, roughly corresponding with the precession of the equinoxes. Christ = fish symbol = age of pisces, before that it was aries = rams & sheep symbolism, & etc. Currently, we are entering the Age of Aquarius which is what is causing all the fuss (the changing of the guard, so to speak). Anyway, “Hamlet’s Mill” is a great book that goes into further details.
@woods: Wasn’t the Age of Aquarius already dawning in 1967?
