My Catholic Dad asked me to read the hitchikers guide and now I'm an athiest Anonymous Wed Jul 5 15:31:47 2017 No.9719263 [Reply] [Original]

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

So in december my dad asked me to read the hitchikers guide. Before this I was catholic but not too devout. About halfway through the book I started to seiousley question god. By the end I was an athiest. No depression or religion switching involved, this book converted me.

Good job dad, that was the best book I will ever read. Maybe one of the best works of literature our species has ever produced.

I came out to my mother, who is apparantley an athiest. ALOT about her makes sense now. Her mother and my grandmother is an athiest too. We talked about the universe, mike pence and the sort. She thought my dad suggesting the guide was hilarious.

This is how elon musk became an athiest too apparantley.

If I ever become president I will be sworn in on the hitchikers guide to the galaxy. It encompasses my beliefs like a bible.

It's why I keep coming back here despite the never ending shitposts. I really can't take discussions on other sites seriously knowing that the person I'm arguing with might number Harry Potter amongst their favorite books or never have read the Greeks.

the first book is terrible, but it gets even worse, this book sucks and you should keep your way out of it

>Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
what is literature, or at least douglas adams shitty book, but to seeing fairies on a garden? i fucking hate this book so much i'd rather read harry potter

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 6 00:40:16 2017 No.9721327 >>9719263 Awesome that you have a cool-ass dad that recommended Adams to you, but stop identifying. Being atheist doesn't make you cool. Reading an awesome book might, if you weren't such an asshole about it.
