“Truth is dead. God never lived. Life is filled with pain. Death is the end of life.” These beliefs formed Alicia Britt Chole's worldview as a young woman. "I sincerely believed that there was no God," she says. "As a young Atheist, I simply considered myself a realist who preferred unanswered questions over fairy tales." Then one day, without warning, Alicia's Atheistic worldview was shattered. Creatively written, Finding an Unseen God opens a window into Alicia's surprising spiritual journey. With warmth, intellect, and compassion, Alicia invites us to carefully consider what we believe and do not believe, while she paints a vivid portrait of a God who relentlessly pursues even those who deny him.
FINDING AN UNSEEN GOD (Reflections of a Former Atheist) is, indeed, an impressive title for a book. For my part, however, as a die-hard atheist, I find it utterly useless to be looking for God because I have been told a great many times before that God is everywhere. Well, if such a warmth, loving and compassionate God were already everywhere, why on earth would any one need to find God? Poch Suzara

Yet, you read her book. What made you want to do so?
Dear Snowbrush,
We atheists live dangerously. We read everything. We are not afraid to learn that we could be wrong in our views. We atheists have open minds and open hearts. Thus far, however, we atheists know full well that religion has been about the greatest story ever told based on lies. Indeed, religion has been about the most hideous fraud ever imposed on mankind.
Cheers! Poch Suzara
You write of atheists as if they all love to read and are all possessed of considerable virtue.
Oh Yes, it is impossible to be a genuine atheist unless one was first an avid and a judicious reader. Take Isaac Asimov: "Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived by man." As far as virtue is concern, we atheist have the greatest of virtues: All genuine atheist have not any kind of contempt for man's capacity to think. Cheers! Poch Suzara
