33825	Lewis, Joseph	An Atheist Manifesto			.txt	text/plain	8203	375	70	If man is a fallen angel, by the commission of a sin, then disease and sorrow are part of God's inscrutable plan as a penalty imposed upon him for his disobedience, and man's entire life is devoted to the expiation of that sin so as to soften the indictment before the Throne of God. When man comes to the realization that he is not the favorite of God; that he was not specially created, that the universe was not made for his benefit, and that he is subject to the same laws of nature as all other forms of life, then, and not until then, will he understand that he must rely upon himself, and himself alone, for whatever benefits he is to enjoy; and devote his time and energies to helping himself and his fellow men to meet the exigencies of life and to set about to solve the difficult and intricate problems of living.	cache/33825.txt	txt/33825.txt
