We have finally finished the novel Armageddon Summer by Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville. This book was a pretty good read and enjoyable for me. The ending of the book was pretty cool because it ended with e-mails in which the to lover sent to each other after Jed had moved to Colorado. One of the quotes from the last part of the book that I liked was 

    " What do I believe?........ So here it goes : I believe there's something bigger than us that                         we're a part of. I believe there's something inside us that you can't kill, that lives on afterward. I believe no one has a lock on the truth, or the Truth for that matter. I believe people spend too much times fussing about details and not enough time looking at the big picture. I believe you have to connect, with people, with the world to be really alive. I believe you are the best thing that ever happened to me." ( page 265)

This was a cool passage at the end up the letter that Jed sent to Marina. In away I can relate to this. As a child I grew up believe in God and going to church every sunday. But as I got older in my teenage years, I stopped going to church and my family said that I was being disloyal to God and other stuff like that, but even thought I didn't go I still knew for a fact that there was something other there that is bigger then us humans, and I didn't see how going to church made that idol happier with us, I though that believing in its existents was good enough. It is also true that those religious people really do spend to much time fussing when they could be out doing something else and just seeing the big picture and letting the others worship the "God" the way they want to, because in the end for all we know is that we could be worshipping the same God but in different ways.
