"Hi Scott!
As a former resident of Western North Carolina (grew up in Bryson City and attended Western Carolina University as an undergrad), I am EXTREMELY proud that Asheville has a freethinking Mayor! But then again, Asheville is known as the…"

Hello from your friendly neighborhood Atheist!
Profile Information
- About Me
- I am an out gay Atheist, a Liberal, and a Mac geek.
I started coming out of the closet when I was 16. Raised as a conservative Christian, this prompted me to reevaluate things I'd been taught to believe. I went through a brief ex-gay phase at age 18, thinking I was supposed to be straight or celibate. I stopped going to church once I moved out on my own, but I still believed in Christianity. Then, I found freethought resources and started seriously asking myself the tough questions. I finally shed religion and faith at the age of 24 and have never looked back. I am interested in ethics and morality, but not in self-contradictory and immoral thou shalt's and thou shalt not's.
Politics is one of my interests because it affects people's daily lives. My interest in politics was sparked in 2003 when the US Supreme Court handed down their decision in Lawrence V. Texas, striking down sodomy laws. I was horrified in 2004 when 11 states approved constitutional amendments banning marriage for gay couples. I was very glad to see five states legalize marriage for same-sex couples in the last year. Although as happy as I was about Obama's election, I was also very sad on November 4th last year to see that California had failed to defeat Proposition 8.
I am a semi-geek Mac user. I was a lifelong PC user; I got my first computer, an 8088 dinosaur my uncle had built, when I was in the 6th grade. I loved Windows, from Win95 to XP. I got an iPod shuffle in 2005 and Apple emailed me about the Mac mini. I was amazed -- a two inch tall 6 1/2 inch square full-featured computer (with built-in wifi and bluetooth, etc). I bought one in June 2006 and have been in love with the Macintosh platform ever since!

Protecting Marriage
The 2008 Republican Platform lays out the party's ideas of what constitutes a "real family." Unfortunately, many real families don't fall within the Republicans' idea of what a family ought to be, and therefore the Republican party labels these family as a threat to "traditional marriage." Here's an excerpt from the official 2008 Republican Platform regarding this issue:…

I went to the North Carolina Pride festival again this year and had a good time. One thing that was new this year is that finally an Atheist group was represented!

We had several people come up and talk to us and none of them were… Continue
