Introductions and such :)

[lordxenu]

Greetings everyone;

I am a 28 year old medical doctor. I suppose that alone should be a reason to not believe in supernatural phenomena, superstitions, or the 2870 gods out there.

I enjoy music (I play the guitar and keyboards), reading books about geopolitics, mythology, history especially WW2, and cold war history, as well as tradecraft (espionage). I also like photography, dancing salsa, and microelectronics.

I came here for 2 reasons. The first is to find a community of people who think like me. The other reason is that I want to help out new atheists as much as I can. I grew up in a free thinking house and I understand that not all are so lucky. In Lebanon, it used to be hard (almost impossible) to come out as an atheist. Not any more though.

Oh, and the nickname is a joke from scientology. Lord Xenu is supposed to be an alien who got annoyed from the other aliens overcrowding the galaxy and went genocidal on their sorry behinds. I've seen weird beliefs, but I think that tops the bullcrap meter with me.

I also would like to leave you with a favourite quote by Sam Harris (one of my favourite authors).

The president says he speaks to God everyday and Christians love him for it. If he said he spoke to God through his hair dryer,they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.
