I sure would appreciate being included in this two-way conjecture of who I am. Hint: I’m a blond-haired atheist who was raised Catholic; sent to a private Catholic school for 7 years (along with my twin brother and younger sister). The more the nuns and priests worked at indoctrinating the 3 of us, the more we became “devoted atheists”. Like Dorothy, when i awoke from my dream, I realized “there’s no place like rationality”. That is my “home”. I am an enthusiastic humanist who embraces human rights, justice, facts, reason, logic, science. equality, compassion, and good laughs around a fire with my good friends. I love astronomy and want everyone to buy the book “The Stars” by H.A. Rey! It is pure magic.
My dream when I was a kid was to be a teacher. What could be more rewarding than to share with others what you are passionate about? I was 21, working in a boring Real Estate company, and it just hit me—Fucking QUIT and become a damn teacher, already!!! So I did and at university I took an entry Philosophy course…BANG! I found my calling. I loved it and it loved me. I graduated “top student in Honours Philosophy”. My twin brother became a graphic designer, so I copied him and got my Graphic Design Diploma and became was an award-winning graphic designer!
BUT, I still wanted to be a teacher… Then, luck landed me a dream-come-true—I got to start and create my own Graphic Design course, at a new college in my own city. I was finally a teacher! And I was teaching others my true passion!!! My dream came true.
Hey, I know there’s no “god” up there, but maybe there is a guardian angel?!!! Ha.
I’m now retired and live in a dream house with a dream wife and I love to promote atheism, human rights and rationality. I loathe religion and I am an avid antitheist.
