Damn good book too.
Reply:Wow, can you hear that *swooosh* sound?
Reply:I would definitely stay a christian, who wants a bad life with out god?
Reply:Neither...





That book was terrible.
Reply:Well, the Flowers for Algernon surgery would also imply that in time they'd revert to their original state. A brief glimpse at enlightenment might just make the return to the previous state harder to deal with psychologically.
Reply:Low blow, hope you're proud of your generalization.
Reply:Once a person receives Christ for real, they don't go back unless they so choose. And if they do become apostate, they know full well what awaits them.

Flowers for Algernon is a science fiction short story and subsequent novel written by Daniel Keyes. The short story was first published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy %26amp; Science Fiction and won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1960. The novel was published in 1966 and was joint winner of that year's Nebula Award for Best Novel (with Babel-17).





The titular Algernon is a laboratory mouse who has undergone surgery to increase his intelligence. The story is told as a series of "progress reports" written by Charlie, the first human test subject for the surgery, and touches upon many different ethical and moral themes such as the treatment of the mentally disabled.





Although the book has often been "challenged" for removal from libraries in the US and Canada, sometimes successfully, it is regularly taught in schools around the world[5] and has been adapted numerous times for television, theatre, radio and as the Academy Award-winning film

Reply:Gee, I can't imagine why there's such tension and division between Christians and atheists.......








Which direction would a bird fly if it had your brain?





Backwards?

Reply:Somehow, they'd still end up Christians.
Reply:HA! Good one. I'm sure they'd remain Christians.





I would wager that Google was lit up after this question--the percentage of people on here who have read the book is probably miniscule.
