never quite sure what to type.
yes phillip is my real name.
i live in florida.
lover of chess, and baduk (also known as go).
I'm a computer programmer by profession.
i was born into the christian faith, but started questioning my beliefs around the age of 15. my mother is a bit of a religious nut. she reads the bible every day, goes to church at least twice a week. she's nice enough, but a bit over zealous at times. as for myself, I'm still searching for what i believe.
currently I'd classify myself as a deist. i believe God exists, but i think he's closer to Einstein's God than my mother's.
Einstein was considered a pantheist for the longest time, until some new letters came out that now make him look straight out atheistic.
