The God Hater: A Novel

About this book

A cranky atheistic philosophy professor loves to shred the faith of incoming freshmen. He is chosen by a group of scientists to create a philosophy for a computer-generated world exactly like ours. Much to his frustration every model he introducesfrom Darwinism to Existentialism to Relativism to Buddhismfails. The only way to preserve the computer world is to introduce laws from outside their system through a Law Giver. Of course this goes against everything hes ever believed and he hates it. But even that doesnt completely work because the citizens of that world become legalists and completely miss the spirit behind the Law. The only way to save them is to create a computer character like himself to personally live and explain it. He does. So now there are two of himthe one in our world and the one in the computer world. Unfortunately a rival has introduced a virus into the computer world. Things grow worse until our computer-world professor sees the only way to save his world is to personally absorb the virus and the penalty for breaking the Law. Of course its clear to all including our real-world professor that this act of selfless love has become a reenactment of the Gospel. It is the only possible choice to save their computer world and as he finally understands our own.
