Discworld - The True Power of Belief

Small Gods is probably Pratchett's most thought provoking book.

It's not just his continuing theme that Belief creates Gods.  This is another book that is full of great lines and phrases, but one of the best is that people die for lies, but they should live for a truth.

I've known people like Vorbis who are so closed in their minds that what they think are the word of God are really just heir thoughts being reflected back to them.

This is another book that I think should be taught and studied in schools for its concepts.
