- About Me
- I was brainwashed by loving parents into The Morg (Mormon Borg) as an infant, and it took 55 years to realize it was false.
I slowly came to the realization that I had never felt the spirit, never had a prayer answered, and my leaders had never received revelation to help me with my problems.
I've always loved science, so it didn't take long after I gave myself permission to study Evolution, that I became an Atheist. I've considered myself an Atheist since 2008.
I'm Divorced. Despite doing everything I could to make our marriage work, after 8 months, my crazy TBM (True Believing Mormon) wife filed and got two divorces from me. Civil and Temple. I now realize she did me a big favor. I would have hung-on for 10, 20 or 30 years, and been miserable the whole time.
In June 2010, I finally officially resigned from the Mormon church and had my name removed from their records. In Nov 2010, I finally got the courage to tell my family that I knew there were no gods and why. I had a good family, which I always enjoyed, but now it feels like I don't have a family because they're still in the brainwashed state.
I'm honest and kind. I'm intelligent, but slow thinking. I'm a perfectionist, usually in the negative sense of the word, and I still often have anxiety and depression, although since I've been honest about who I am, they've become less severe.
Edible Gardening is the most relaxing and enjoyable thing I do. The things I grow are thousands of times tastier than what I get in the store, and less expensive.
I also like watching comedies about family and friendship, riding my recumbent trike, and increasing my knowledge of scientific discoveries. - School/College/University

You should sing more, certainly listen to more music. I'm lucky to have good radio stations playing classical music (and jazz). The radio is on all day. I also have many records and tapes. What do you do when you "hang around the house"? Can't you listen to music? By the way, I am lean and healthy, but I work at it very diligently. I'm going to reach 100 if it kills me!!
