Is there the need for something beyond what we experience in this universe to explain who we are?Is God necessary or can we happily exist without him?What is the end result of societies designed without an ethos attached to a metaphysical foundation?This book attempts to answer these plus many other questions, providing a final solution for the argument from evil, argument from free will, the need for objective morality and what is the essence of atheism and its consequences within society.The downward spiral humanity delves itself into when abandoning the sense of being, beyond what nature designed to be, is discussed in detail, just like the many downfalls of subjectivizing anything from morality to the meaning of our existence. This book addresses the consequences of replacing religious ethos with an atheist ethos including socialism, Marxism, feminism, Wokeness, red pilling and many forms of tribalism.A neologism is introduced ('faux-atheism') to classify those who wish to detach themselves from spiritual belief yet do not wish to live with its consequences, leading to compatibilism, humanism and other non-sensical designs, in a desperate attempt to salvage the inevitable: can humans understand and explain their existence without God?

In unflinching yet hopeful prose, this debut memoir in essays explores the most animal parts of our human nature. Discussions of various creatures in the natural world serve as portals to the painful realities Kirsten Reneau confronts in the process of breaking-and remaking-a home. Honest in their descriptions of sexual assault and its traumatic effects, these essays are at once clinical and lyrical reflections on the ways that desire can permeate our lives for better or worse, as well as how it can be channeled into a lifegiving force for women in a world often hostile to their basic needs. Sensitive Creatures ultimately is a story of darkness, resilience, and the light that still manages to crack through.
