“In
1940, Camus married again. His second wife was Francine Faure. Although never divorced, Francine
suffered immensely from Albert’s
persistent and public infidelities.”
“Camus bought
a handsome stone farm house for his family in Province. (Mr, Camus’
young Danish mistress often stayed at
the farm house nearby.”
“Camus
neither believed in God nor accepted the specific morality of
Christianity. He liked to think of
himself as instinctively pagan, a man in love with the tangible
pleasures of this earth rather than the blessings of Heaven.”

R., On Camus.

Just
ask the children of adulterous parents how much fun it is to have the
adults in their lives set aside Biblical morality.
