Somebody suggested a program should be made from it. What could be a better way to kill some time on Sunday for an atheist programmer?

He was weary and visibly poor and he was holding a yellow bag in his right hand and had prayer beads inside it. He was reciting something…constantly. I kind of pitied that man.

There was a tarot card reader as part of the village setup. My wife was curious so she checked out her fortune and also got me to do the same.

Whenever I try to explain my position as an atheist and ask some logical questions about God, the theists run away. My mom, my wife, friends… they just don’t want to discuss the G word.

A believer’s morality comes from his belief in the book. Where does an atheist get his morality from? What is the base of an atheist’s morals? I had written about this in my first post about atheism.
