At Susan's request: Introducing myself to the Board
Hey guys,Just want to take a minute and introduce myself. I am 25 years old and a recent graduate of Louisiana State University. I have a B.S. in Psychology and am in the process of opening a web based business.As an infant I was baptized Catholic. Interestingly enough, my mother converted to the Morman faith when I was about 3. So I grew up with my mother being Morman and my father being Catholic- still married. I attended both Churches. I think this helped in my skeptism of God and religion. I used to hear each criticize the other's religion. So early on, I saw holes in both. I still belived in God because I thought it was the "right thing to do" and I was conditioned to think of athesists as unmoral. I was always skeptical of certain things in the bible.Going to college and majoring in psychology helped me to understand why people think as they do. I also took a New Testament religion class that examined the New Testament in a historical perspective. I learned a lot from that class and decided that the Bible couldnt be true.
Ive always been interested in religious debate and discussion and am fascinated that some people are rational in every part of life except religion. Amazing. I hope that Brian and Kelly's appearance on ABC at least stirs some discussion on this "taboo" subject. Thanks for providing a forum to all of us unbelievers.
