The God Delusion; it's so bad you'll be forced to believe there's a god because there's no way someone as pretentious as Dawkins could come to exist naturally except by the whims of some higher celestial being.

In no particular order. I end with what I believe is a noteworthy rant.

Some coincidences are improbable, mathematically impossible

Consciousness is irreducible

The double slit experiment.

You can explain phenomenon but you can’t understand it.

Rev 13: 16-17 KJV - In my view an item that fits the right hand and the head would be some form of technological device. I believe this because the transhumanist movement is taking steps toward immortality which means you are breaking off from the spiritual aspect of life, the return to your origin. Additionally, if you have some technology rooted in your veins then it is likely that it will be a centralized system. The problems with a centralized system is it can be used maliciously and become corrupted, you are at the risk of unbreakable enslavement.

Orthodoxy by Chesterton is my personal favourite. he doesn't explicitly try to convert anybody, he just outlines why he's a Christian, how he came to believe in it himself and criticises "materialists", who were the Reddit of his day. you can almost substitute materialist with nihilist or progressive and it all still applies to today's discussion. I love his style of writing, he's witty and concise, very persausive without even bothering himself with trying to persaude you, it's an enjoyable read.

This, the bible also. Not the trinitarian abomination. But One God residing beyond the universe(s) in transcendental unity. The ultimate answer is the book of life (i.e. all manifested and unmanifested possibilities).
