Hello there, reader. I was inspired to write about this after some events that happened in Russia not long ago. I hate to see people suffer because of the religion. I hate to see young families suffer because there are not enough of kindergardens built.  If you are a truly religious person, I really recommend you not to read this. I am an atheist myself and this is how I try to show you guys the real world. 

Please do not claim this as your what so ever. I worked hard on this and it means alot to me. 

Thank you.

"Credo quia absurdum"                                     "Absurdity"

- Tertullianus, De Carne Christi, 5.4               - Tertullian, On the Flesh of Christ, 5.4    

Chapter I.

White Noise. The TV was already old.

"... it’s decided to build another temple. Hierarch personally blessed the construction area, expressing regret that, and I quote," not everyone understands the importance of spiritual support. "I also recall that two days earlier, police broke up an unauthorized construction on the area of the rally, whose members resented the fact that the temple was to be built on a land which was originally destined for the construction of a kindergarten. City authorities have decided to postpone the project for the time being on its construction, which caused indignation of society ... "

- Mom, I'm home!

Artem took off his shoes and walked into the kitchen, with half an ear listening to the news.

- What, again our holy church took land from someone? When is it gonna be enough??

- Tem! How many times have I told you not to talk like that! It’s a sin in fact, and you don’t already live according to the laws of God! And what garbage did you paint on your hand again? Did you do another tattoo?

- Mo-m, don’t start! Well, Katya and I decided to do identical ones ...

- You just spoil your body! And so the whole right hand is already full with skulls! Do you think about what you’re doing? Did you forget about how you didn’t get accepted to a job because of it?

Artem waved his hand and walked out of the kitchen. This conversation wasn’t worth it. His mother wouldn’t stop.

And damn the wrist ached. He gently touched the saran, which glistened under the freshly tattoed small three pixel hearts. It was his idea. Katya immediately liked it.

His fingers rattled on the keyboard. A bookmark, a usual social site ... The address was not available.

- The heck? ... - He whispered, opening a new browser window. But the internet and everything else was in order. Artem decided to wait and to write this off at the technical works on the site and check the news until then. From the first lines of the news his eyes widened in surprise. "Today, the largest and the most popular social network was prohibited by the Federation. This decision was taken after the request of the Holy Church, which considers the social network a "hotbed of atheism. " At first the were concerned about blocking communities which only promoted atheism , but after a careful analysis, the Holy Church has made a request to block the entire network. This decision had been supported by most of the experts who have stated that this social network is the largest repository of pirated content, pornography, including child and extremist materials. Creators of this social network had already filed application to the court, to which the Church had advised them to pray more and go to church, because they have already committed their souls with an awful sin ...

Artem walking down the street with his hands in his pockets. The music in his earphones played quietly, a little money in his pocket – but just enough for a single rose for Katya.
