hopefulnebulaDear Dr. Stoycos:
Yes, Sartre was an atheist. Why should that stop him from writing about Hell? I mean, since when can't people write about things that don't, to their knowledge or belief, exist? Literature would be horribly dull if we did that, you know. And besides, you have to acknowledge the idea of something in order to deny it. Don't make me not think of an elephant!

And incidentally? Derrick approves of the Popeatine. Speaking of Hell, I think it just froze over. I'd never have pegged him for a conservative.
