read a book called- The Damage Done: Twelve Years of Hell in a Bangkok Prison by warren fellows. Its a true story, i could not put it down.

Yes, I've read it too, very good.

'Dear Boy' - The Biography of Keith "The Loon" Moon, of the Who. He really was a lunatic.

Also 'Evil Spirits' - The Biography of Oliver Reed. Another man who liked doing things to excess

These two were good mates and there's a lot in both books of their antics.

So if it is all a load of nonsense why when someone is asked in a court of law to give evidence do they have to swear on the bible? And can you tell me pleas where 90% of the laws for this country come from. And if it is not fact and it is purely fiction why did the leaders and founders of nations use it as a moral grounding? And when historians talk abut periods in history why do they use the birth of Jesus as a reference point in time if as you say it is just fiction? As I said The bible is a good read.

That doesn't prove it isn't fiction. That's just playing on the fact that we've done that for so long.

90% of our laws came from Labour government.

Any of the books in the link.

All priests and creationists should read them, all who think that one of the thousand variations of a 'god' is looking out for them.
All who believe in a personal 'guardian angel'
All who believe in tarot,fortune tellers, mind readers.
All who believe in ghosts
All who think they are going to heaven

Richard Dawkins should be in charge of our education system.

I know it seems like a bit of a romance at the beginning, but when it really gets into the First World War stuff it's very different!
