Hello, I am Boes.
I will start off saying I am quite bad at talking about myself, but I think it's nice to introduce myself a bit.
I live in the Netherlands, where most people are non-religious. Although both officially Christian my parents are pretty much atheists. They did not teach me anything about the Christian faith, although my grandparents did. I considered myself Christian until I read a junior version of the bible around the age of seven, then I became an atheist as I simply did not buy it. Sometimes I do question if there is some supernatural power out there because of unlikely things happening in my life, but I realize that if you're going to spend as much time as I do on this planet unlikely things will happen often.
I love learning, and that is what I do all day. I learn about everything that seems important to me, from education to the first world war to climate change. There is so much fascinating knowledge and so many fascinating ideas out there, it is really astonishing. I love to debate and discuss, as nothing beats a meaningful conversation.
One of the most inspiring people to me was my grandfather, a pastor who traveled all around the world to speak to prisoners. Some others are Nelson Mandela, Matt Dillahunty, Neal Barnard, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Martin Luther King, Al Gore, Ken Robinson, Dan Pink, Simon Sinek, Stephen Hawking and some other wonderful people.
Looking forward to some nice discussions!
