The little vessel had been drifting just fine through the cold emptiness untold centuries away from Earth.  Anselm's steady job of verifying the system code and making sure everything that could be automated was automated was paying steady dividends into more than just his bank account.  The crew knew he was a hard worker - a little eccentric at times.  

On his spare time, Anselm kept a blog on the ship's intranet.  It detailed the ins and outs of his quirky philosophy on life and he knew that sooner or later it would get the attention of Lothar, someone who was decidedly more of a conservative than Lothar.  

An atheist, eh?  Lothar posted at once upon reading a back entry of Anselm's blog.  With all the posts about stories of kids hanging out at worship services and about grownups killing off the dreams of children, Anselm knew he was guilty as charged.  

Life's short.  Think hard!
Me!
