I wanted to pick up a new book soon and I was wondering if anyone here knew of any very well done (long) books that are about either falsifying, denouncing, poking fun at God, Creation and/or Religion?
can someone help me out?
Check out Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (http://www.amazon.com/Lamb-Gospel-According-Christs-Childhood/dp/0380813815%3FSubscriptionId%3D08WX39XKK81ZEWHZ52R2%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0380813815). Paints Jesus in a way that anyone without a sense of humor (read: fundies) would find horrifying. I think it's damn hilarious.
while not specificly about religion I recomend, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. One of the greatest books (or series of books if you want to get technical) ever written.
Another extremely funny book, that includes a fake religion, is John Scalzi's "Android's Dream".
Quote from: "Booklist"An interstellar scandal explodes when a human diplomat assassinates an alien diplomat by farting at him, albeit using a scent-emitting communicator. To forestall interspecies war, the government enlists former war hero and current überhacker Harry Creek. His mission: to placate the aliens by finding a unique form of sheep used in the aliens' upcoming coronation ritual. The sheep, in this case, turns out to be unassuming pet-store owner Robin Baker, whose genes improbably incorporate ovine DNA. Before Baker can be secured and summarily dispatched, however, Creek must contend with a succession of meddlesome adversaries ranging from a cult of sheep worshipers to alien thugs itching for interstellar war.
