Hi from Canada

Hi there, I'm a Spaniard immigrant in Canada. Despite being from a country where catholic church still has too much power and privileges, I've been an atheist for as long as I can remember.
My siblings had their communion but when it was time for me to do that I told my parents, "I don't care about watches, money or whatever people's was going to give me, but I'm not doing that". And I didn't.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
