This got me to thinking. (Yeah, sorry about that!)
I have often wondered why atheists would read things like H.P. Lovecraft, or those Harry Potter books, or Alice in Wonderland, or the Hobbit books, or anything involving fantasy or magic or, really, imagination of any sort. Even comic strips like Calvin & Hobbes, or Peanuts, with the thinking dog.
I mean, they hate God and claim that they only believe in things for which they have "evidence". But then they become Twitards, obsessing over vampires, or Potterians, wearing their little Hogwarts robes.
What gives? I don't get it. Why wouldn't they just read accounting manuals and evolutionary biology textbooks?
Are they trying to fill the void left by kicking God out of their pathetic, empty, meaningless lives?

So whenever I see my old atheist friends leering at me over their copies of the Necrophilicon and their I HEART
T-shirts, I can only give them a sad smile and hope that they too can reach Salvation.
