Hessenroots's Groups
Rumors of my demise have been greatly under-exaggerated.
Profile Information
- About Me
- My real name Clinton. I comment on a lot of blogs and websites with "Hessenroots" so I tend to stick to that in dealing with the net. Hess, HR, Hessen, Clint or Clinton will suffice...I'll answer to pretty much anything.
28 years new, living just north of Minneapolis, Minnesota (find the middle of Canada on a map and go south a ways).
Raised by an atheist father and agnostic mother to make my own choices and decide for myself. Around age 12 I felt the need to "seek god" and looked at what various religions were saying. Nothing fit and it all seemed a little insane.
Sarcasim, dry-wit and blunt (if not brutal) honesty are my weapons of choice. I love a good discussion or debate as long as it's not cyclic nonsense.
I have a deep interest in biology, physics (quantum more so) and archeology but I'm not formally educated in anything. I'm an armchair geek at best.
Politically I'm hard to nail down but I find myself in favor of the Libertarian party and what it stands for.
My long time love for the dying art of radio is driven by Ira Glass and David Sedaris.
Feel free to say hello or start up a conversation, it is a social network after all :)
Favorite quotes:
"We are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
- Stephen F. Roberts
"Tens of millions of Americans, who neither know nor understand the actual arguments for or even against evolution, march in the army of the night with their Bibles held high. And they are a strong and frightening force, impervious to, and immunized against, the feeble lance of mere reason."
-Isaac Asimov
"There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made."
-Richard Feynman
" There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
- Douglas Adams
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats. "
- HL Mencken
"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

Bored? Tired of creationist woo but still looking for a dose of pseudo-science wackiness?
Might I suggest "THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE" and all things contained within.
Gravity is just electricity but all these "ignorant" main stream scientists refuse to admit it, choosing to waste money and time on stuff they know can't be true!
*facepalm*

Daniel Florien said… - It's hard for me to imagine being raised atheist! I'm so used to parenting being described as "helping your child find his/her way to god" that it's hard to get that out of my system.
