Far from it. Atheism is just the beginning. It’s the question of what comes after God where things become really interesting.

As such, to say I’m an atheist tells you something about what I don’t believe in, but it tells you almost nothing about what I do believe in. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Tim Dean) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/is-there-a-life-after-god/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/is-there-a-life-after-god/#item5515 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 19:40:32 +0000 Tim Dean | Author bios | The Punch
