I am doing my best to think about something that a lot of people think
they can unproblematically refer to by the name of God. Sometimes they
describe this presumed being as being at once omniscient, omnipotent,
and omingood with respect to the very world in which I am living, and
then it seems to me as if I am thinking of a logical contradiction. When
I don't bother about this oddity, it makes a difference to my life
whether I behave according to the (formal or informal) rules prescribed
by religion-of-kind-1, religion-of-kind-2, religion-of-kind-3, ...,
religion-of-kind-n, atheism-of-kind-1, atheism-of-kind-2, ..., or
atheism-of-kind-n. For various reasons, I have since long stopped
thinking seriously about the religion alternatives. (02)

I have at least done much. (04)

Have you experienced the smell of being an atheist that does not have to
bow in front of an unknowable something? (06)

How do you know that your God doesn't like an honest atheist who tries
to live a decent life better than a believer who believes and repents
just for playing safe? (08)
