- I've had a happy, well-adjusted life (though at times it didn't seem that way), and I'm proud to say that no crippling childhood trauma contributed to my atheism. I regard God as something akin to a Disney villain; a cartoonishly evil figure that I'm glad is pure fiction, because if he did exist I'd be ethically obligated to kick his ass.
- I know for a fact that I am better-informed on The Bible and Christianity than most adherents, and it was meeting my first self-proclaimed "true" Christian and being schooled in the worst extremes of Christian dogma that helped me begin to question my faith.
- I have more arguments against my culture's predominant religion than against others because it's the only one people attempt to force on me. You could, in fact, consider me a Buddhist.
- I am a materialist monist and a technophile/transhumanist/roboticist as well (and I regard obsession with the flesh and notions of some immaterial spirit to be, flatly, a bit crazy). I believe that proper logic is the foundation of cognition, and without it we have no right to call ourselves human.
- I am a high-spirited Ethical Slut, have a thriving e-life and subscribe to the non-theme park version of Nietzsche, with a good dollop of non-theme park Epicureanism on top.
- I exist solely to belittle religious people.
- I am Above Good and Evil, having rejected an abstract, supernaturally-imposed morality in favor of a rigorous personal ethic. Compare and contrast Übermensch.
I'm also a shell-shocked
