Where is the 2017 top 100?

I don't give a shit what your 2000 year old book of desert fairy tales says. I'm asking you to defend your beliefs, not for the book to defend it's beliefs. Why don't religious people just kill themselves? They're all so stupid it's mind boggling. They can't even think rationally because they ingrain willful irrationality and stupidity and ignorance into their mind with the antithesis of reason - faith. Why don't they all kill themselves? You're holding smart people back.

I read the whole thing in a night. It was like some terrible, autistic fever dream. It was "fun" in that it went from start to finish and was generally a feel good book.

But it sucked. It was awful. It was fucking stupid. EVERYTHING about it was fucking stupid. The protagonist is the biggest sperg in the world and everything is pure stupid fucking wish fulfillment.

Can /lit/ help me out? I'm trying to become a more well-read Muslim. My mosque has failed me. I'm looking to build by knowledge of Islam from the ground up.
>You shouldn't read other texts, anon, they just try to confuse you. The Quran is law and the rest is Hamas.
