From the reading I've done thusfar, I can see that I'll be both frustrated and elated by the community here. I look forward to making an ass of myself for your collective amusement.
Now, for the 'About me' section of this post.
In the interests of honesty and integrity, I should be forthcoming about my internet habits. I frequent 4chan, and as such I shouldn't be taken too seriously if I seem to be coming out of left field in any given post. No, I won't Rickroll anyone, that was old before it was new. I do, however like needling people who are a little full of themselves, and if a thread starts to turn ugly, I tend to throw something rather silly into the ring for no reason other than to hopefully lighten the mood. Or at least annoy the folks up on their soapboxes by not taking them seriously.
Funny enough, Project Chanology prodded me to take a closer look at religious influence on society, from both my own perspective and that of society itself. Thunderf00t's Scientology related videos got me watching his channel, and from there I branched out to most of the channels now associated with this here League of Reason
Now, I'm no intellectual heavyweight, I've had no education beyond a rather lackluster highschool career, where the only appeal to me was the music courses. That said, I love reading, I love learning, but I don't do very well in a traditional classroom setting. I found the classwork repetitive and dull, and the lessons were never so challenging that I felt really engaged. Never did homework, but easily passed all the tests and exams they threw at me, so I no doubt frustrated the hell out of the teaching staff.
A few more personal details, I'm 31, married to a likeminded atheist woman who is quite the spitfire. Suffice to say, I'm rarely bored, as she regularly has entertaining tales to share regarding her adventures during her day. She's severely ADHD, even moreso than I am, so having no brakes between her brain and her mouth usually leads to all kinds of entertainment for me
Anyway, since I'm not terribly fond of long posts, I'll leave off here. I'm sure future discussions will unveil anything else someone might wish to know, if anyone gives a rat's ass.
