Hello community!
My name is Zack, I'm 26 years old. I am a United States Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq war. A former police officer in the state of Cali and I currently work as a Private Investigator. I have a wife and 1 year old daughter. I am an outspoken Atheist who is currently trying to become more involved in the Atheist community. I've started a blog to allow myself to vent, rant, and spread the good Truth about science. If your interested in reading it you can visit <snip>
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and I am looking forward to many stimulating discussions and debates. My idols include Dr. Sam Harris and Dr. Richard Dawkins. Penn Jillette is also another person I have just recently discovered to be a positive influence in my life.
Who would you consider is a positive stimulus in your life and making a difference in the world today?!

Welcome, I'm sure you'll find a lot to talk about here.
I'm also a fan of Penn & Teller (I think that's what you meant anyway~).

You've come to the right place for stimulating discussions and debate. I joined last week and have had plenty. Am familiar with Drs. Harris and Dawkins and will now check out this Teller. Thanks.
BTW, before you read my intro, Who Am I, you should be sitting down. Make sure your bladder is empty and there are no sharp objects within your immediate vicinity. You may want to hurt somebody.

Hi, welcome to this here forum!
How did you survive deployment in Iraq without using the foxholes, though?

You know what they say. . . As an Atheist, I couldn't quite jump in that foxhole without fearing my lack of belief would be in jeopardy. LOL

I was wondering why that name kept coming up when ever I searched for Penn Teller. Thanks for the heads up. How to play in traffic.Gee
