God Is a Heartless Recluse: A Novel-Essay-Screenplay Synergy

The story of an atheist’s search for universal ethics, God Is a Heartless Recluse demonstrates that theists’ claim of God as their Heavenly Father is delusional. A god who allows terminal childhood diseases, mass murderers, cannibals, and genocides is at best a heartless recluse. In reality, God is a figment of megalomaniacal minds that don’t have the courage to accept the facts: Humans evolved from earlier primates. God is a human invention: animism, panpsychism, pantheism, polytheism, monotheism. The universe is indifferent to humanity. Paradise is a fictional luxury resort. Humanity is an adolescent civilization with the potential to mature, spread across the Milky Way, then to other galaxies and other universes—to live forever in this eternal multiverse.
