Hello all!
I just discovered this forum, and had to register. I've been a part of other forums (scientific, religious, political, etc) before, but before long they tend to get overrun by the devout theists who end up silencing people through shouting and condemnations. So, it is nice to find a forum dominated by people who don't take employ that tactic.
Religiously, I am a Deist. Though I do believe in a god, I don't believe that this god is the god of the bible, koran, torrah, etc. Nor do I believe that this god exerts any direct control over the goings on of the world around us. As well, I know that my belief in a god is not provable, nor do I wish it to be. In my "Atheist vs Theist" debates, I tend to be on the side of the atheists. My beliefs are solely based on my own experiences and thoughts in life, and can't be (and shouldn't be) pushed on to others.
Politically, I'm a libertarian. I tend to live by the philosophy of "so long as it doesn't pick my pocket or break my leg, it is none of my concern" (to paraphrase).
Again, greetings!
