hello folks!

hello folks!
i'd like to say hello and say how relieved i am to be here amongst free-thinkers (if i'm not right, please do correct me). i'm bombarded with religion everywhere i go and tho i'm not a sandwich-board wearing activist type, i certainly have strong beliefs in logic, science, math, tangible proof. i'm a civil engineer by education, software engineer by career and for the past 15 years, a contractor/builder by trade. i don't read fiction (except dan brown) and i mainly watch nova (pbs), news and documentaries. my main problem is "ok jack, we know you're not religious, why must you always bring it up?"

quick about me:
i come from a very religious family on both sides. mother's side was baptist, episcopalian, methodist, and whatever other christian denominations i can't remember (big family). my father's side was mostly jehova's witnesses. so i really had no hope other than to be viewed as the "black" sheep of the family. no obvious jokes please, lmao. (sorry, i tried to keep it brief.) even young, i was never sold on any of it, but had to act like i was.

so, nice to meet you all. i'll be glad to learn more from you.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
