I'm writing out of frustration. This is about how I feel about our world as it is. I'm not a student of politics, economics or ethics. I'm one of the lab-rats in an experiment that's gone horribly wrong. I'm writing this because I've had it with voting for the sake of voting. I've had it with a culture that celebrates fame for the sake of fame, and the pursuit of wealth over value. I've had it with voodoo economics and the corrupt and crumbling financial system. I've had it with the rise of the moronic masses, who continue to press their faces against the glass palaces of consumerism, whilst ignoring the starving and suffering in the name of democracy. And don't think I'm letting the extremists off the hook, either. Whether it's religious, moral or philosophical, extremism is where I fear we're headed. It's wrong, nobody's fixing it, and I fear that it's getting to the point where a systematic and seismic shock will be the only way to create a sustainable society.

If my ranting makes you think, I'll consider that a positive outcome. 

Feedback and suggestions welcome!

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

*NOTE : This book is completed. Check out the sequel - 'An Atheist's View', http://www.wattpad.com/story/54108182-an-atheist%27s-view * There are many books here on Wattpad with Christians and Muslims telling of their opinions and views - so here's an Atheist doing the same thing. Updates once a week, with holidays being an exception (updates more frequent). Please do remember - these are MY opinions, not those of every Atheist out there. There may be Atheists out there that agree, and those that don't. This is why the book is called 'mind of THE Atheist'. The book goes all over the place - from asks from readers, to my opinions on certain aspects to our lives (abortion, homosexuality), to general religion topics (religious rituals, certain religions in general), and even to my opinions on other Atheists (or what religious people say about us). I will jump from being dead serious, to laughing my arse off - which, as you may guess, may include some cursing and 'offensive' comments. Please note : while you're more than welcome to express your opinion in the comment section, please don't over do it. If you wish to argue - PM me. Too many comments by one person on a single chapter are likely to get deleted. This book is only about my opinions on religion-related topics. If you are interested on my opinions on what's going on that has no relation to faith, I'm currently working on a book of that type. 'Daily Bullshit' should soon be out. However, as for rants about nothing and everything - I haven't yet made anything like that. Maybe I will someday, I don't know. #129 in Non-Fiction

AMERICAN HORROR STORY meets THE HANDMAID'S TALE with a bit of WESTWORLD weaved in Four women, fresh out of a super secret governmental experiment, are dragged back into the laboratory where they lived--to save the world from the specimens they helped produce. ***** It's 2050, and the world--in particular the not-so-United States of America--has undergone a lot of changes. A dictator who refuses to relinquish his presidential power reigns over the country, and humans--especially women--see their rights diminished more and more each day. Some are forced to enter special programs to stay safe from men who seek to harm them, and others accept to be part of freaky experimental trials in back-alley labs for a bit of cash to pay the rent. Four women who participated in one such trial--one *actually* sanctioned by the US government--are coping with their new lives when a member of said lab comes to find them, to let them know that the experiment they participated in has gone awry... and they are the only ones who can help fix it all. *TRIGGER WARNING for gore, violence (especially towards women, but NOT domestic abuse), oppression (to women, mostly), explicit language, possible sexual situations inappropriate for readers under 18. PLEASE DO PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*
