Ready Player One discussion

I absolutely loved this book. One of the best page-turners I've read in a long time. However I found myself disagreeing with much of the worldview presented in this book. I wrote a blog post with my thoughts in more detail. Let me know what you think!

I think having faith in religion comes from having a steady and supportive family which as you mentioned is not Wade's case. I didn't come from a broken home, or one with any abuse (define abuse? Parents who believe their kids are a resource made my family), I never ever believed in God. Before I could really educate myself on darwinism etc, I didn't ever believe prayers were being listened to. I'll spare you everything I disagree with regarding religious behavior. Someone who was lucky enough to commune with trustworthy influences will probably believe more in conservative religious views. I don't think there is a better indicator- it has nothing to do with nature or education. But in the end I admit I don't have the answers. There's this book on politics by Al Gore that I'll call my bible. He writes things very "gospel-y." Where fear is present, reason cannot exist. When something becomes all of a sudden clear, I say I had an epiphany. But anyway, just like in pride, prejudice, and politics... you can spend a lifetime trying to change someone with no avail. I'm glad you liked the book though
