Jesus shit.

Best book I've ever read. It's a mixture of science fiction/fantasy and it's ****ing awesome.

Like, for example, the main characters (aka, the good guys) don't concern themselves with moral choices until it concerns the death of a million people, and then only for selfish reasons.

Hell yeah. ****ing awesome.

And there's a girl who obtains a penis who turns into a monster she-male who falls in love with a mute gorgeous teenager, and conceives a child.

Dude, ****ing awesome.

It also has plenty of anti-religion in it and by the second book (there's five, I just finished the second) you can really see it.

Also, lesbian priestesses. Yes. Awesome.

It also blurs the lines between good and evil and promotes situation over biology for human behaviours. AKA, definitely good for atheists.

Seriously, it's the best book I've ever read so if you go to a library, ever, I suggest looking it up.

Soul Rider by Jack L. Chalker

It was published in 1985 though so it might be a little hard to find.

By the way, the end of the second book is awesome and what prompted me to write this thread.

Also, much better than Ghost Rider, srsly.
