    This is going to be like a book club, I guess.

    If you want to participate in the discussion of this book, you need to go out and find it at your local book store. It's called, "God's Debris: A Thought Experiment" by Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. Be warned, this presents extreme theories on everything from Free Will, God's Free Will, God Himself, The Suicide Of God, and everything in between. It's been printed in the liner notes before you read the book that if you can't accept possibly new theories, you don't need to read this book.

    But if you can accept new theories on a variety of subjects, then go and buy this book. Read the whole thing, and we'll hold a discussion on the theories presented in the book when everyone has completed it. As the title of the book suggests, it's reccomended that you get a bunch of friends to read the book and then discuss everything about the theories, like whether or not they could be possible, why they can't be possible, etc etc.

    So, if you're willing to participate in this, just reply to this. When we get a good number of people, I'll start the official Discussion topic.

    This topic is only for those who want to participate. You must buy the book, since that's the only way you can participate in this experiment/discussion.

    If I wasn't already reading Ludlum's "The Tristan Betrayal" and "The Sigma Protocol" afterwards, I'd certainly pick it up. I'll keep it in mind for later.

    I started reading today and I'm on Chapter 11 (Reincarnation, UFOs and God). Thought provoking stuff.

    Personally, I won't be joining the discussion. This because the stuff in that book is generic stuff, there are multiple books on the subject and the theories aren't new. Secondly, you assume that anyone who has not read that particular book cannot discuss on the subject matter, but as i have stated before that book isn't unique by any means. :)

    Damn, I won't be able to find it. They ban controversial books here...narrow-minded buffoons. I'd really like to read it though...maybe later.
