What was the initial spark behind “Godless Armageddon”? How did the idea evolve?
After a spiritual journey of my own, I became the atheist I am today. But pondering the nature of our existence, I wondered if souls could exist and how they would exist within the context of what we know about our universe. I’ve also been disappointed in the depiction of the afterlife in every work of fiction I have ever read. So, I created a never before imagined afterlife that fit into the universe as we know it, leaving room for aliens, religion, reincarnation, and ghosts.
Also, when I was in the Army, I was an atheist, I did get ‘no preference’ when I asked for atheist on my dog tags, and I did send it back to be corrected. I was told by a drill sergeant that if I died in battle, having atheist on my dog tags would get my body deprioritized. I don’t know if that is true, but I was disgusted by that sergeant’s prejudice, and I still am.
