Vash replied to Anthony Jordan's discussion What is your view of Agnosticism ?
"I, myself, and the atheists I know make no claim to knowledge of the non-existence of any sort of God. We simply say "I don't believe it, because there is no proof for it". We apply this reason to every other part of our lives, why…"
Vash replied to Anthony Jordan's discussion What is your view of Agnosticism ?

"Religion is a vestigial appendage that global society as a whole has evolved beyond the need for.
It is human societies appendix. And like an appendix, it is better at harming or even killing than it is at anything else.
Religions contribution to…"

"Hi Vash,
My wife and I were married ten years ago in a decidedly non-religious, though not explicitly atheist, ceremony officiated by Roger Moore, who works out of Portland. While he is a non-denominational minister, he was focused on…"

My Fiancée (Jess) and I are very interested in being a part of changing these laws. We'd love to talk more specifically about what we are looking for in a ceremony and an officiant. We will be calling you soon to maybe set up a…"

"Well, I suppose that's true, an atheist can solemnize a marriage if they're also a civil servant! But you can't sign a marriage license as an atheist "officiant" otherwise. It is shocking, isn't it? I…"
Hollyn replied to Vash's discussion Looking for a secular officiant in the group Portland
"A civil servant could, in theory, be an atheist, no?
I'm not a huge proponent of marriage so this concept has never occurred to me, so I'm pretty dumbfounded.
I don't really have anything worthwhile to say, I guess I'm…"

Looking for a secular officiant

We've booked the venue, set up the reception, got the band, the food everything we need, except someone to do the actual ceremony for us.We aren't having the wedding in a church, and we are seeking someone who can help us create a wedding ceremony that focuses on the Love, Commitment & Choice aspects of a wedding while leaving out any and all religious references.We are both atheists, but we are from…See More

- About Me
- Hi, I'm Vash. I'm a 38 year old Skeptic, critical thinker, rationalist and agnostic atheist. I was raised in a home that switched a few times between straight out Pentecostal and Assembly of God churches.
After years searching and studying all the religious doctrines and philosophical systems I could get my eyes on and my brain around (including a shameful stint spent working closely with so called 'psychics' and astrologers and making money myself as a "spiritual consultant") I came to the inescapable conclusion that all those superstitions are man made and that the real, physical world really is all there is.
Since then I have found a deep interest in psychology, science and a real affinity for debunking. Consequently, I have also become a huge fan of James Randi, Penn & Teller, the Skeptics Guide to the Universe crew and Derren Brown.
I'm also a percussionist, cook, tattoo enthusiast, comic book fan, movie buff and avid reader. I live in Gladstone, OR. with my wife and son.
Friend or message me and let's talk.
