Your favourite religious pamphlet?

I noticed this was in the sub-forum description, and think it's criminal that nobody has started a thread for same.

So here it is.

Don't just limit yourself to eccelesiastical theses: any sort of devotional work will do. Hell, we'll even allow the odd codex to slip in under the wire, just don't let the archbishop know, ye hear what I'm sayin'?

All right, no pushing! You'll all get your turn!

I'll kick off with mine. It's A Monk's Guide to a Vow of Silence by that revered author of Christian dogma, Brother Aengelbert the Chronically Misunderstood. Sure, it's only seventy-five blank pages, but I think it says it all. It's certainly a better read than his less popular Six and Twenty Grievances I Hath Against His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, banned by the Church in 1141 and all copies recalled and used as lavatory paper in the Vatican privies.

All of them.  I grew up in a generic xstian community.  Fell for it hook, line & sinker for years as a kid, but finally started becoming aware of the deep repression and hypocrisy around age 16, started separating myself from the church and various youth groups my family had pushed me to participate in.  Later in college and after, I checked out other forms of spirituality - paganism, wicca, buddhism, etc. - and found the same repression and hypocrisy there as I did in xstian-based religion.  I separated myself from all of it and eventually started defining myself as an atheist, and then an atheistic secular humanist.  I'd say that pretty much describes where I am now, my personal philosophy.
