# I still want to read that book.

Wonderfully wild :D

# can't you get your own books?
(I helped save b3ta! HappyToast Groat froth, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 9:57, archived)
# I could, but I'm lazy.
I get my mum to buy me my Pratchett and Paine.

I may just go into Borders at one point and sit in the kids section and read them books until they tell me to leave.

# Thomas Paine isn't nonsense geek book :(
And Pratchett is only mildly nonsense.

# Hahahaha.
I don't remember much about Mort, except the basic story line and the tarot cards.

"Death can be a good sign you know."

*lays down several more Death tarot cards*

"I think we're beginning to see a pattern."

# Thomas Paine, 18th c. revolutionary?
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 10:07, archived)
# Yup.
I'm reading The Age of Reason, I like his thinking :D

I've also got The Rights of Man, but I've not started that yet.
(I helped save b3ta! Rev. Cleo still alive, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 10:09, archived)
# Goodness.
I've heard he's a bit erratic in his principles and showed distinct signs of just enjoying a good revolution more than anything else, unlike, say, Edmund Burke, who supported the American revolution but got cold feet about the rather nastier French one. Still, fair enough, good nerdery.

# The Age of Reason is all about him not liking organised religion.
But still saying "I believe in a higher power."

He seems to say that he doesn't like organised religion because of how it deceives and is deceived by itself, though he mentions a pious lie where he says some people realise that religion is shit, but still do it to help others, while others just use religion as a way of persecution or self delusion.

It's very interesting :) And that was just in the hastily written first part, where he didn't have a bible to refer to. His second part is after being captured by the French revolutionaries and freed again. So then given access to a Bible to use scripture to help refute rebuttals against his first part.

It's all quite facinating :D

He also says how a religious experience, such as something being revealed to someone, is personal, and so cannot be easily tranferred to more than one person. So anything a higher power says to someone, is then just hearsay when they then say it to someone else.

This is wonderful. In other news, I'm looking forward to seeing the film adaptation by Jonze this year. Whatever people think of him and his career to date, the very fact that someone like him has gotten the oportunity to make a film like this is very encouraging.
