i came upon this site completely on accident
or did i?
i would define myself as an atheist
within the constrains of the definition referenced here
but i have an extensive and constantly evolving belief structure
based equally strongly on both logic/science and feeling/experience
i like to balance the sides of my brain

insert blurb about personality tests here

which brings me to something else
personal but poinient
i am moderately to severely ocd
and i don't mean that flipantly
i only mention this
because it will most likely come in handly
when reading my posts
and interpretting my intentions

no
i don't wash my hands all the time
or hate dirt
those are cliches
but i do like my words to fit together a particular way
if you haven't noticed
and i think
a lot

this site/forum
instantly appealed to me
as maybe the perfect place for dialogue
on my favorite topic of thought
generally
everything
why/what/who/when/how
why am i here
what is the meaning of life
what do i do right this very second
every second

ok
perhaps that's a little dramatic
but you get the point

now
a little faq de moi
if you will

• don't make any assumptions about my posts
  i mean what i say and nothing more
• that's a lie
  everyone means more than they say
• i often play the devil's advocate
  this doesn't mean i necessary believe it
  dialect is an important path to truth
• please please please
  i beseech you
  don't be offended
  i will try very hard not to pass judgement
  unless you won't adhere to logic
  but i will not call you stupid
  i will probably just ignore you
  if you get angry at something i say regarding theism
  you should think about why it makes you so mad
• i don't expect to change anyone's mind
  i'm not trying to
  and people don't change easily
• yes
  i'm typing this in vim
  (computer g33k reference)

so there you are
i'll be making my first post soon
posing a query
if you will
that i hope is interesting to discuss
nice to meet you all
