Godless Message

After reading Godless, numerous messages came to mind. I felt that the book was trying to talk to people who were questioning their faith, especially teenagers who didn't necessarily agree with the same religion as their parents, or any religion at all. What Pete Hautman was trying to convey was not that everyone should be Catholic, or even believe in Christianity, but that in order to have the most full, meaningful life, one should have pure faith in something. With this book, he is not celebrating or putting down established religion, but trying to provoke exploration of faith and unique ideas, and questioning both of those until you come to strengthening them.
