You probably don't know me, but if you do you probably don't like me ^.^
Let's see...points of facts about me...
24 years old, American, would consider myself a hard core gamer...
My background...
Went to a christian private school for 1-8th grade, family is rather poor, so it was paid for by my granndparents. Until about 6th grade I fit in well and interpreted the bible more accurately than the people around me ...according to pastors. Then about the summer between 5th and 6th grade I was bored so I read the bible, just about everything I'd have to read in highschool, the dictionary, and then at least half the encyclopedia (got up to the Ms. I forgot how old they were) Started reading scientific journals and national geographic for a while when I could get my hands on them and took up a fascination with UFOs as well as Magic and Ghosts. Went back to school and every so often raised the topic of aliens which pretty much got me chastised and when I wondered why the teacher said the stars do not move when I knew they did and asked, I was flat out told I was wrong. Further more, all the males in middle school (6-8th grade) jumped me which was ignored by the teachers.
Let's just say from that point on my grades had dropped from all A+s to abysmally low grades. In other words...it turned me off school, and it only got worse when I started going to a public high school where the material was so boring that I just barely got of there from simply not caring enough about answering mindless questions about things I had learned about 3-7 years ago by the end of HS.
Luckily what saved me was a Computer programming class where I learned COBOL, QBASIC, VB, HTML, JS, AS400/RPG, and some other stuff I forget, a philosophy class which I found intriguing, but found that most of what was so hard for people to grasp i had figured out years ago, and creative writing...which I mainly used to be a smartass with. Banana Haikus are great ^.^
So from there I went to AIP and started learning animation...got kicked out due to poor conditions causing me to get sick and fail classes, and so now I go to community college... where I pretty much study everything...
I so far have a basic college level understanding of...
Business
Psychology
All the categories of Philosophy
Law
Mythology
Astronomy
Western History
Eastern History
Animation
Programming
And that's not quite accurate as most of that was beyond simple for me...More or less I have enough in each of those subjects to get an associates in each of them so it's more like I am about a 3rd or 4th year college student in each of those categories.
As far as whether I am theist or atheist... technically I guess theist, but that is based on what theist means and not the general understanding. I hold that Empirical information is the only way of determining what is actually real and i would not put god in the category that a theist would so for anyone that doesn't get what I mean I'm atheist...which i don't like saying simply because I like proper definitions.
