when I deconverted, it was exactly that: people living happy, morally upright lives outside of the church.  Where I expected depression and depravity, there was acceptance, love and genuine concern - tempered with more humor and culture than I…

One of my favorite stories is of an old friend.  He was Russian Jewish, and his wife Phillipine christian.  They forced nothing on their daughter, but told her, "This is what we grew up with, accept either or make your own…

Please don't take this personally, I'm just making general observations about words. A supreme court justice defined "porn" by saying "I'll know it when I see it." I think depictions of adult consensual sexual…

Sorry Kansas...Signing an abortion ban into law puts you back into the dog house...

The other day I posted a link that demonstrated some hope in the intellectual capacity of Kansas among the dismal, dubious achievements of the Creation Museum where the Kansas university became among the first to demonstrate multicellular lifeforms evolving from single celled ones. Well today I read…See More

My response might be "Science is based on evidence and observation, and that approach has brought us new knowledge we didnt have before.  Just closing our eyes and saying "god did it" shuts off the process of discovery - and this…

Hooray for Kentucky - University replicates multicellular evolution in a Test Tube

Shocking to me, the same state that brought you the "creation museum" is also home of the first experiment that demonstrates multicellular life evolving from single celled organisms in a test tube. I guess truth, like life, tends to find a way even in the harshest environments:…See More

Oppression of gays ("cleansing" our society of homosexuals, period)2. End the teaching of evolution or any other science that in any way contradicts their strict interpretation of the bible3.

About me...

I grew up in the evangelical christian church. I hate capitalizing anything, least of all religious monikers. Actually as a small kid, I hated church. Then I became one of those teens for jesus and loved the lord-y-lord. Sang heartily about the blood in the blood of the blood. Reveled in the torture of my savior and lordy. I taught at a kids camp, led singing and worship sessions, taught sunday school, read the bible cover to cover several times, bible bashed lots of people, picketed abortion clinics, then eventually got into technology and drama. That, combined with calvanism was my exit drug. Well and moving from Vancouver to Halifax, leaving the christian bubble to test and see if the faith could hold its own against the big world. Took about 8 years for me to finally call myself an atheist after all that. It was a long, slow, gradual "evolution" away, not a 1 day or 1 moment conversion. I had a friend who was a scientist, some engineer friends...lots of intellectual friends and now I collect rare books and antiques, love history and culture, and the preservation and perpetuation of knowledge to all.

Personality. I like to use complete, articulated words. I cant stand internet memes like "lol" and "u r really gr8." I do not have a blackberry or cellphone and live, happily married (Actually living in "sin" but that's our business...we're havin' a good time), in paradise: a 6 acre piece of forest in rural nova scotia. I'm on satellite internet, live in a beautiful hand crafted home surrounded by 17th and 18th century antiques as well as the latest techno stuff, love playing video games, am on the internet too much probably, and I write code in Actionscript for a living. Ran for politics once and am all done with that. I have a lot of opinions. I question everything. Love my life, and am trying to get the most out of it I can.

If you think I seem interesting...please friend me. I always am interested in having more atheist friends and I am looking for people to be influenced by and learn from.

I just published a rather anti religous irreverant book...

Posted on March 25, 2011 at 12:52pm 0 Comments

In case you're interested here's a book I've co authored...

www.dicshitnary.com

 

I take a lot of pot shots at various religions and its a skewering of many cultures in a kind of homage to the great Diogenes.

That was the gist of what I thought was going on there. Interestingly enough, in disagreeing it did seem to require others to validate their reasoning. My bottom line is weather on not the type of argument is useful. Just glossing over it with "he is evil" does not get to the core of the matter or hold others who follow his logic accountable for the harm such ideas cause, especially when we do not see how mainstream they really are. I brought up Scooby Doo and Harry Potter because my Grandmother thinks H.P. is evil and I used to work with a woman who had similar feelings about Scooby Doo. It is the same thought pattern as "This is a true story.. Made a pact with the devil" Attacking that is what is useful.

You are now 1 of two other former xtian musicians I know in the online world, which in or out of the faith is a breed onto them/ourselves. We should start an exclusive members-only club.

How do you find it working for a Charlotte company? Can you understand people? :D I had a hard time with the accents when I first moved down, but I claim no accent anymore since I lost my Canadian one after moving to Fla. They hate Canadians in Fla :D Anyway, nice to see some countrymen here! :)

OMG, I hate "lol" too! Yes, I realize the layers of irony found in that statement. I actually never used to say "oh my god" either, but now as an atheist I find it too funny to resist (along with "thank allah!" and "holy ___, Batman!").


Glad to have you here! Most evenings (and lunch breaks) you can find me in the chat room along with The Meag, though this is a bad week to advertise that fact, because I'm going on vacation... but join in the fun anyway!
