How I became an evil atheist

In case you've ever wondered how to create an atheist, here are two simple techniques: 1. Teach them science, then have a theist say foolish things about the world (St Augustine knew this one.) 2. Try to tell them the universe is ruled by a benevolent god, when anyone can see that if a god did exist, he would be a monster. I talked about the first at AHA in 2009, you can read about it here. https://thehumanist.com/magazine/nove... The second…I'll tell that story for the first time here.
