In Scotland.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

But I currently reside in Hawaii. Cheers!

Thought I'd add some pics.

Where I live now --

The Zafar Jube as it runs through northeastern Teheran, not too far from our last residence there:

I'm from the USA. Specifically, I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico right now. I was born in California, grew up in Oregon, and served in the military in Washington. I'm hoping to make more moves in the future. I don't like feeling tied down.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

I've lived in 7 locales in 6 states, and currently live in my native San Diego. I'm actually frankly rather sick of moving around, however I do like the fact that I have so many geographical connections and American cultures within me. Not to mention, I no longer sound like a native southern Californian. Or really a native anything.

I come from Brighton, East Sussex in the UK. Luckily for me it is a very free-thinking and accepting city and is known as the LGBT capital of the UK which deters the more conservative religious nuts!
