ORIGIN
#5
RE: ORIGIN
I'm from the UK (in case you don't know) born in, and lived all my life in England.

I'm three quarters English, an eighth Welsh and an eighth Irish.

I was born in more specifically, Wolverhampton, 5th Septhember 1988 at exactly 5.am - I spent most of my life in Norwich though from when I was almost 8 years old. I have been living up Northwest, though; since Jan 2007

I never really believed in God at all. I never really understood what I was being 'told' I was always kind of unsure on the matter, until I heard about Darwinism and Evolution at 9 years old - and then I knew of no reason (in my mind) to believe in God at all. Before that I kind of always had the 'God is a Mystery' attitude and never really believed just in the sense that if I did believe - I had no idea what I was believing. It would have just been an 'ooh mysterious bullshit'. Closer to deism than theism - I never really believed in a Christian or other theistic God. If I ever did believe in moments it would just be that the universe must have 'come from somewhere' from something mysterious - but I never believed in a person God as far as I can remember. Because if I did when I was a very young kid - I never really knew what the fuck I was actually believing.

Since about late 2001 I think, I had been a Gnostic atheist and believed I just 'knew' God didn't exist simply because he was 'so absurd' or 'so ridiculous'.

I went more philosophical, I became agnostic but also 'unsure' about my disbelief (but I still disbeleived) the last 2 years or so, until august last year after reading TGD - since then, I have very firmly disbelieved in God. I'm agnostic now though not 'unsure' - I'm only agnostic towards "God" like I am to the Tooth Fairy! I, of course, disbelieve the Tooth Fairy! I think the Tooth Fairy is very improbable and there's no evidence, etc, etc - but I'm still agnostic on the matter in the sense that I don't believe the Tooth Fairy or "God" is absolutely disproved, you can't prove a negative. Nor do I claim absolutely knowledge and absolutely "Believe God/The Tooth Fairy doesn't exist".

I don't claim absolute knowledge - I'm agnostic. But I'm still as fucking certain minus that! As certain as I can be about anything without being "Gnostic" on the matter.

I have been on computers basically daily since 6 years old, I learnt to touch type fullly and with all fingers in 1 day in about half an hour. I find typing more comfortable than talking.

I have spent most of my life playing computer games. And the majority of it playing 'AoC' (Age of Empires II The Age of Kings: The Conquerors Expansion (Pack)).

I have gone into exactly how much I gamed and more detail on the matter elsewhere, I find it kind of frustrating racking my brains in all the details to repeat it all here and now. I think I've said enough! I may edit if I feel the need later and I can think of what to say lol - and I'm not sure I'd want to just copy and paste it over here :S

Oh, and my name's Mike.
