No souls. What  you see is  what you  get. Nothing for the  God of
nothing to help. A big, fat, zero.

No paradise but what we make with what we've got. Nowhere for your
non-existent God to help your non-existent soul go to.

Sadly,  the space  exploration  that had  just become  commonplace
about the time I was born has dwindled to nothing. Had things been
otherwise, I'm  sure I would  already have left Earth,  though I'd
probably also have returned a number of times, too.

I may yet leave Earth...but I  begin to fear that we're stuck here
for at least  the rest of my life. Maybe my  children will escape,
but likely not very far.

I  hear Mars  is quite  cool  in the  summer, and  the scenery  is
supposed to make the Grand Canyon look like an irrigation ditch.

Once you die,  that's it. You spend all the rest  of eternity just
like your God--nonexistent.

Still, Ghostbusters was  a fun movie, as  was Beetlejuice. I could
get a  kick out of  doing the rhumba  in some rich  kid's parent's
living room, just before making my eyes dangle on my cheeks.

It'd certainly  beat the snot  out of singing eternal  hosannas to
the greatest  torturer and mass  murderer ever, in the  company of
the world's most obnoxious self-righteous snobs.

Cheers,
