As far as religion goes, I'm Catholic. But I absolutely love learning about different religions, especially ones that teach unconditional love at their core. (Though admittedly, many are twisted and used to justify violence and atrocities towards one another). I've, of course, read the Bible, and I am currently reading the Koran and the Torah, and there are many wonderful things in all three, but I was also curious as to what other holy books are spiritually positive and inspiring as well. Any suggestions? Please don't post just to say something nasty about religions. I would like real, honest, helpful opinions
 
The problem with most of these is the translation. The language can, in simple terms, be translated. But ideas are different in different languages. So I want to recommend one written in English: "The Book of Lies" by Aleister Crowley. As the title suggests, it teaches as much by paradoxes as any other way. It does not simply propound a doctrine, but stimulates you to think about things in a way you never did before.
