This is much more upbeat than I meant it to be. Oh well, guess even I can't be depressive forever. Also this is sort of a follow up to #2.

3. Lack of God (Atheism): rejection of belief in God or gods
Thire told Rys his thoughts on God. Rys thinks the lieutenant is wrong. Rys read the book too. Thire says God is about love and saving people. Rys can't remember those parts, just the parts about death and destruction raining down upon the hapless. Though he hasn't seen much of the war yet he thinks that sounds about right. That doesn't mean he has to like it. Rys loves Thire. He loves Thire's beautiful ideas. God seems to have other plans. Rys doesn't want that god. Rys decides to remake the universe in Thire's image; if he lives that long.
