Time with Vonnegut and The Atheist in Indiana

In the past few days,  I have an encountered a man who is -  how shall I put this? -   an Evangelical Atheist. I've ever met such a creature before, a man who injects his personal belief in the randomness of life into virtually every conversation. This protegee of Richard Dawkins is convinced of the essential loneliness of the vastness of our universe. I am choosing not to say a word in response and am instead considering why God put this man in front of me.
