My name is Asmodee and I'm an atheist...wait, wrong meeting...
I'm an agnostic atheist. I used to be Pentecostal in my youth. I'm fascinated with the psychology involved in religious in other "woo" beliefs. I don't believe in gods (actively reject the idea), ghosts, alien visitations, psychic powers, magic, dowsing, the relevance of dreams, pretty much ANY conspiracy theory, that immunizations are in any way bad for you, that voter registration laws are really about "voter fraud", that pot is a gateway drug or that "job creators" are really anything other than just plain old "rich people".
I'm not new to this type of forum, but it's been a while. My personality rubs some people the wrong way. I'm convinced it's mostly because the typed message doesn't properly denote "inflection", which is very much in my head when I'm typing. But maybe I'm just a dick. If so, please let me know and I'll see what I can do about that. I sincerely don't mean to be. Pretty much the only way I will ever show an individual any disrespect is if I feel they disrespected me first, though I feel no obligation to show any respect to any belief system, which I may openly mock. But, I won't mock the person themselves usually, just the beliefs they hold precious and dear. If you don't want me mocking your beliefs, don't hold stupid beliefs. See? There's that "dick" thing coming out, but I swear, it was funny in my head.
Anyway, that's me. I like to think my posts are well thought out and intelligent. Of course, stupid people are rarely smart enough to know how stupid they are, so, there's that. I hope you enjoy having me here and I enjoy being here.
