Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

..This fighting not just about religion, but between the religious, this desire to have the freedom not just of religion but from religion is enshrined in the founding documents of this country in a way that should make you very proud. And it should therefor put you very much on your guard that there are people who don’t seem content with it, who seem always to wish to impose their own religious belief on this. To say if only we could ban alcohol as in the 20’s we’d have a more pure and perfect union, or if only we could forbid the teaching of evolution, or get equal time for pseudo science, like the alchemy class that follow the chemistry period in presumably these school or the astrology class that comes after the astronomy studies…then everything would be fine. Resist this with every fiber in your being.
