It’s amazing to think that many people in today’s modern society hold faith up as a virtue. I am not one of those people. There is no sense in replacing reason and evidence with faith -- . . . more
When I'm not programming (either web development or game development), I'm usually: playing the guitar (and/or singing something); playing the drums; eating; playing a video game; drinking wine; building computers; reading; playing Magic: The Gathering; watching movies or TV shows; learning something; teaching something to someone; blogging; writing about the irrationality of theism; just thinking...using my brain somehow!
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

I hope you're not yet done with me yet Tristan. I haven't read your comments yet because there are so many others. Look for part 2 later today. This string is getting too long and I am inviting comments from you. According to what I am reading here, you're an atheist. If you notice, I'm not attempting to convert anybody, just trying to tell everybody, faithless and faithful no to close their minds too readily.
Lol yeah I'm still around. Haven't been online for awhile. But I just got through updating my profile and adding new pics. I'm going to try to get on here more! :)
Have you read "the portable atheist"? Christopher Hitchins collected a bunch of writings from great heretics(uestioners, but not exclusively atheists). There's a great one from Betrand Russell and I think some Spinoza. Working my way through, but definately worth a spot on the shelf.
Hi! I don't know why we haven't connected before now, but here we are. I used to be a small town atheist too. I lived in Middleburg, FL, a town that is still controlled by Southern Baptists. I only go back there to see my sister and grandparents.
Thanks for setting me straight about the Franklin quote, “Beer Is Proof That God Loves Us And Wants Us to Be Happy.” I came across it the other day and thought it was funny. Guess I should credit good old anon instead ...
