On Atheists and Atheism
Only an utterly neurotic and insecure deity will find a moments disquiet in the emergence of some number amongst their sentient creations that actively disbelieve and deny that they were, in fact, created. We expect that only very few of our readers will need to be warned in advance that self-determination will inevitably produce such a wide variety of modes of thought that some small percentage will hit upon the idea that chance and physics alone are the sole cause for their existence.
A well adjusted god will realize instinctively that such persons are harmless and there is no need for violent over reactions such as floods, plagues, mass burnings, torture chambers or the creation of a fashion industry as punishment. Indeed, a deity that is confident in his position will regard such aberrations as both natural and harmless and leave anybody foolish enough to entertain such notions to their folly.
