My co-boss declared himself an atheist yesterday at work. He and I had talked about religion before. He said "If God exists, then he wouldn't have taken my wife from me." Sad story: his wife died of brain tumors. He declared himself after I was calling a coworker a sinner jokingly and then clarifying that I don't believe in 'sin' because I'm an atheist. My co-boss, overhearing my joking proudly spoke up and said 'Me too!' I was surprised. I'm not sure what other reasons he has for being atheist, but I don't think his loss is reason enough for everyone to be atheist. I personally think the problem of evil is a fraction of why anyone shouldn't believe in a 'loving deity'. What do you think about his reason for being atheist?
