Proof in dialogue form:
Fred: Hey Joe, do you believe in God?
Joe: No.
Fred: Why not? God believes in God.
Joe: No he doesn't.
Fred: Yes he does and I can prove it.
Joe: You can't. God doesn't exist.
Fred: Work with me here. You say God doesn't exist.
Joe: Right.
Fred: That means to you God is nothing.
Joe: BINGO
Fred: And I think it is safe to say that if something is nothing it can't believe at all; it can't believe in anything.
Joe: Correct.
Fred: And anyone who can't believe in anything believes in nothing.
Joe: Yes.
Fred: And that means nothing believes in nothing.
Fred: But you insist that God is nothing or in other words nothing is God.
Fred: So that means if nothing believes in nothing and nothing is God ...
Fred: God bleieves in God, QED.

Oh if it were that easy to "just believe" in God and then obtain salvation for our sins! Many people who have been sitting in churches for 50 years and "believe in God" will perish!
"So you say you believe in God? Good! Even demons know that there is a God and tremble!"
Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me."
Nicodemus asked Jesus, "What must I do to be saved?" Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless a man be born again, he can not enter the Kingdom of God."
You must accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, to be reborn of the spirit. Thus accepting payment for your sin. (Jesus' death on the cross) Then and only then can a person "inherit the Kingdom of God".

You know, you can replace the name God with anything pretend there, and make it sound almost real. I like the name HotchickthatthinksI'mfunny.
Hey Joe, do you believe in Odin?

Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy. I can only recommend it, it's one of the funniest compilations of more or less coherent stories in book form I ever read. See if you can get the edition with all 6 books and the foreword explaining in which order they were written.

Hitchhiker's was great. My family didn't get it, though. I think it only appeals to a certain group.

I don't think the book really does well over here in the US. None of the libraries in the area have it, and our bookstore doesn't either.

It was waaayyyyy to expensive to order.
On that day I ended up withe the
Zombie Survival Guide instead. It was crap and will get people killed.

Person 1: A sandwhich is better than nothing right?
Person 2: Right
Person 1: And nothing is better than immortality?
Person: I guess
Person 1: Then a sandwich is better than immortality
The original and the above and both completely flawed in the same way

No they are flawed in slightly different ways. The first is really a question of the notion of nothing as the value zero. The second is really taking the expression "nothing is better than x" which really is more of a set notion to imply that the set of things better than x is empty implying that x is infinite. So that's a meaning change more than a question of trying to define X as Y and replacting X with Y on both sides of the statement.
Besides, it seems a little too short, you need to work on the timing.

I thought god was a pretty minor theme in the books, but his final message to creation is good.
