My Imaginary Friend is better than yours!
The time has come for me to take a holy book to a location. Why, because I finally have a bit of paper that says you can bring your own holy book. The paper is the inviation to do my Australian Citizenship ceremony.
It says ” should you wish to make the pledge on a holy book of your choice, please bring that holy book to the ceremony”.
I am torn at this point however. I am an atheist through and through. But should I let an opportunity like this pass me by. So here are more choices so far.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. (great book written by a great atheist)
God Delusion, Richard Dawkins. (great book, plus has the added advantage of being a red rag to a bull).
or perhaps just take the Manual for my Nokia N95, I seem to spend a great deal of time worshipping the phone.
The other option of course is I could just make up a cover… say Atheisism for Beginners, or slightly more controversial “My Imaginary Friend is better than yours“.
You have 3 days to offer other suggestions.
how about “Tutira: The Story of a New Zealand Sheep Station”
Perhaps a printout of ‘man man’… which has the advantages of being both ultra nerdly and obscurely funny on quite a number of levels…
