Hi Lisa,
Yes, I am happy, although I wish I had more money to spend. Why do you say that awareness (that God is not real) leads to unhappiness? The question about drugs and alcohol is more complex. I think it depends on your career whether it is safe or wise to use drugs/alcohol. I use both moderately. I rarely drink hard liquor and I have not done any drugs worse than marihuana. I think that you will find that atheists are very aware and loving people.

I heard of your website from a very close friend. She gave me a Happy Winter Solstice card and I noticed the link on the back of the card. Well, I find you very angry, although I agree with your perception. It's actually more reality than
perception and I appreciate the bold approach. However, I always love a good debate. I am concerned with feeding into the description and becoming attached to an organized social grouping such as Atheism. I indeed do live my life knowing that God is just an ornament to maintain human control and order in a Capitalist Empire, but awareness unfortunately leads to unhappiness. I am curious as to whether or not you are happy. Are you? I have another question. I was wondering how you feel about drugs and alcohol consumption. That is all for now. Feel free to write back. I would enjoy a response. Thank you.
