Carlos Espinosa replied to Vash's discussion 'Looking for a secular officiant' in the group Portland
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…

Hi Dani,
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…

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…

Hi Vash,
I am currently on the local advisory board of Center for Inquiry Portland, and was also among many who attended a training in Portland just last month to become the first "Secular Celebrants" here in the Northwest…
Looking for a secular officiant
My fiancée and I are getting married in North Portland this coming Halloween (10/29/11). 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

Vash replied to Lamar's discussion 'Introductions' in the group Scriptural Criticism
When I was a kid my dad was an associate pastor at a Pentecostal church in central California and later at an Assembly of God church in Kansas. I went to church all day every Sunday and every Wednesday night and I was water baptized at age 8. Divine…
Vash replied to Jaimie Mercer's discussion 'Fav Comic Quote' in the group Atheist Comic Fans
A couple of my favorites from Spider Jerusalem of Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis are:
"You want to know about voting. I’m here to tell you about voting. Imagine you’re locked in a huge underground nightclub filled with sinners,…
Scriptural Criticism
This group will do more than just pick apart biblical errors and contradictions. Let's closely examine the Bible and Qur'an. Nothing is sacred; every prophecy, proverb, and parable deserves examination and critique.
Vash replied to Lamar's discussion 'Season 2, Episode 50: Teabagging Hutaree: How Political Posturing Is Fomenting Sectarian Militantism' in the group Chariots of Iron
Great Episode guys. I was reminded of this article I read in TIME magazine from March 29, 2010 which says:
"the Hutaree are a symptom of the continuing militia phenomenon, one that seems to have gained impetus since the election of Barack…

Vash replied to shiloh shambaugh's discussion 'can you name an atheistic comic book or graphic novel?' in the group Atheist Comic Fans
Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and published by DC Vertigo is a good one with heavily atheistic overtones where religion is concerned. The 60 issue run is available as a series of graphic novels:…
Profile Information
- About Me
- Hi, I'm Vash. I'm a 36 year old Skeptic, critical thinker, rationalist and agnostic atheist. I was raised in a home that switched a few times between 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 and Derren Brown.
I'm also a percussionist, cook, tattoo enthusiast, comic book fan, movie buff and avid reader.
Friend or message me and let's talk.
