Thank you for activating me manually. I was stuck somehow between "activated" and "guest" for some reason and couldn't do anything about it.
During my childhood I had already developed some degree of scepticism and quickly abandoned fairies, ghosts, rabbits and Santa. When it came to thinking about gods I found the idea more funny than compelling and since I had already laughed in church when my parents initially took me as a child, I didn't even have to abandon anything.
A few years ago I went for a job interview in the Middle East and was told that I was an atheist. Somehow I never considered me to be anything other than a human being and now I was told I had to identify myself as something I am not. Odd.
Investigating and subsequently analysing Islam in a Muslim majority country gave me some unique insights, especially when the hotel I was in in Kabul was attacked by the Taliban. I didn't understand why at the time, which is why I went deeper and deeper into texts and materials regarding Islam.
That's when I ended up on YouTube as my research led me to apologists, which made me research Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism as well, as they all made similar claims.
So, there I am. By now an enthusiastic Pastafarian may spaghetti bolognese live foreverI have several YouTube channels, each dedicated to a facet of Islam, I'm a Dawah Response Team contributor, host the Jinn&Tonic Show and have a blog where I present additional info. I am not really part of any on-line community, especially not atheists because I see a human with a personality - and not their beliefs - as a more important feature.
As topics pop up I will voice my opinion on CEMB or in a forum, but I'm not a great "chatter" in hangouts or Skype just for the sake of chatting, but I enjoy feedback and constructive criticism - even if I don;t necessarily follow the advice
Feel free to ask me about views or about Islam in general - if it's not personal information. I still need to keep a low profile as Muslims don't take kindly to criticism and my visa would be instantaneously cancelled if they found out who I am on the net.
See you whenever....
I think I've seen your comments before on a hell of a lot of youtube videos, mostly Islamic ones. So I think I pretty much know your views on Islam anyway.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
