About Me

My Interests

A genuine understanding of the human condition, and what it truly means to be alive (for this short time) in this vast universe that we come to comprehend through science, reason, and our senses.

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to meet JESUS...
No, I'm not talking about the silly, conventional Christian, faith inspired, self-delusion of a personal encounter with his spirit. That would amount to exactly jack-shit. I'd like to meet the historical character (if he even existed, which is seriously debatable)...I'd love to ask him his thoughts on a few things, and debate his divinity... I think a few simple questions about cosmology, and biology, would expose that he (and the followers who deified his life) were full of shit.
