My daughter had a friend over and I did what normally do which is scare children. I burst into my daughters bedroom and yelled, “SQUIRRELS”, after the girl jumped I pointed at her and laughed and said, “You’re afraid of squirrels”. As I was taking them to a party we passed a church and I yelled, “CHURCH”, after she jumped I said, “You’re afraid of church”. A few minutes later I asked her “Why are you afraid of squirrels and church, what’s the connection?” She laughed and said, “”I don’t know”. All of the sudden it dawned on me and I said, “I know what they have in common.” my daughter said, “What?”, I said, “Nuts!”

Why Do I Bother
I may be a Brand New Atheist but I exist. If I don't make my voice heard, you will have an opportunity to claim I don't exist. If I don't explain my point of view, you can say I don't have one. I see your religious buildings, your religious billboards and I hear your threats of damnation. I reject your religious reality and substitute it with one that makes sense. I will not be quiet because I am the minority. I will not be quiet because you don't like what I say. I will continue to prove to you that I exist. I will not constrain my mind to the unprovable teachings of your ancient text, I will use my mind in the best way I see fit.You Needn’t Fear Me
I don't know you but I helped you push your stalled car • I won't loan you money but I'll give you a ride • I held the door open for you • I adopt • I play video games • I surf on my computer • I watch Battlestar Galactica • I live in your neighborhood • I'm your friend • I'm in your family • I work hard to support my family • I love and want to be loved
Assumptions About Me
You needn't make assumptions about me. I layout my entire atheistic journey in this site. I share just about everything. The very first post on this site explains the majority of my journey.
