The Bible

Kierkegaard, Evola, Schopenhauer, Thomas Merton

Your problem is with the shallow literalist Christianity of Walmarts and minivans. There is a very rich, passionate, and intellectually rigorous tradition lurking right under the surface. I'm not even Christian, but I agree wholeheartedly with the Christianity of Kierkegaard and Merton. Evola and Schopenhauer are just for dismantling the shit out of naive Westboro-tier christianity

Thomas Paine The Age of Reason

>>7586241
You must mean The Age of Reason by Sartre.

Funny how the religious punks are getting roused by a simple rec thread.

>dead white man
Why does his race matter at all. Is it supposed to be twice as damming because he is dead AND white? Good bait if it was intended that way.

dude you can't doubt that Christianity played a very large part in shaping the current western world and that it remains the backbone of our society culturally. You can feel its immense presence in literature, which this board covers, to this very day. If you want to be a contrarian you can pretend like this is not the case. Aids is not very comparable and you know it. You got me to respond however, so kudos to you.

reddit might have something

Greek philosophy and literature if we focused more heavily on that instead would've been much better off. There was tons of culture before the abrahamic religions, even ignoring the hugely impactful Greeks. Your religion could easily have been ignored for the better. Here's your reply.

>>7587891
We did focus on greek philosophy and the farther away from Christianity you go the less relevance Greeks have for fucks sake.
>could have easily been ignored
Write a fanfic about that, I'm sure reddit will make it a bestseller.

Anyway maybe Plato's religious dialogues on piety?
Hume and Hobbes possibly. Nietzsche, Camus and Sartre.
Honestly there hasn't been much good anti religious literature.

I know his stuff isn't fictional, but literally anything by Hitch.

I'd stay away from Dawkins, but Hitch was fantastic.

>>7587891
Neoplatonism is the bedrock of much of Christian theology, including Aquinas and Boethius. Even Nietzsche called Christianity "Platonism for the masses." Greek philosophy and Christianity have a long history together.
