Looking from...the other side...

if the last 5 books you read got to do with God and four of them are kinda blasphemous, then is there something wrong with you ?
I hope not...'cos that's me...
'The History of The World in 10 1/2 Chapters' is kinda provoking...it asks about the will of God and how we, humans, perceive them...
'Xenocide' and ' The Amber Spyglass' are not that controversial because they are sci-fi and fantasy book...but equally provoking because they tell the story of people who fight against the Authority and gods...how gods maybe not that all good afterall...
'I, Lucifer' is the most controversial of all...it tells the story of Lucifer...yes, the devil...or satan or el diablo or whatever you call him...himself...
he was given a second shot at redemption by God and sent to earth for a month to live as a man...obviously he screwed it up but in the book, he's not that bad...okay, this is what the book tells, I dunno about the real thing...
the more he lives among us...the more he become like us...with feelings and emotion...
although the ending kinda sucks but it's quite a good book...obscenities alert though 'cos vulgarities are practically in every page...
and now I'm reading 'The Life of Pi'...if the four were kinda blasphemous, this one should be the opposite..

so 5 books about God...hmmm...what does that tell you ?
a boy with a shaky faith ? or a boy who hates God ?
or a boy who is obsessed with evil ?
nah...I just want to see from the other persperctive...what is it like to see the world from the other side ?
like what Lucifer said in the book...curiosity will bring the downfall of man...
is it ?
