I just knew that God wasn't there. He was a man on a throne in Heaven, so he was easy to forget.

I think God just died of old age. And, when I realized that he wasn't any more, it didn't shock me. It seemed natural and right!

I wondered a little why God was such a useless thing. It seemed a waste of time to have him. After that he became less and less, until he was... nothingness.

That satisfied me until I began to figure that if God loved all his children equally, why did he bother about my red hat and let other people lose their fathers and mothers for always?

Never console yourself into believing that the terror has passed, for it looms as large and evil today as it did in the despicable era of Bedlam.
