About me: Seeing as this website's main function is to serve as a place for bored, socially awkward people to argue about politics and religion, I'll give a brief summary of my beliefs regarding personal beliefs on these and other matters which I arbitrarily deem relevant. Below is said summary.

I am an atheist. Furthermore, I am unapologetically anti-theistic, at least as far as most institutionalized religions are concerned. For all their contestably worthwhile contributions to humanity, I believe that they have caused far more problems than what few benefits they offer in the form of false hope and comfort. Politically, people tell me I'm liberal. I believe women should have the say in what they do with their bodies, including aborting fetuses in them. I am firmly against legislating morality, partly because most people's concepts of morality are still stuck in the Bronze Age. I believe gay people and all manner of alternative gender people should be allowed to marry whomever they want. Unlike most people in this great nation, I understand that "Socialism" isn't just a synonym for "Satanism" (not that I'm singling out Satanism as being bad - remember I detest all religions). While I do believe capitalism has its merits, I think it should be much more than it is. I envision a system of moderated capitalism with carefully selected socialist elements much like those in Scandinavian countries. While I acknowledge the obvious benefits of socialism, I am a libertarian at heart - I believe we should have as little government as we need. The problem is we need a lot - mostly because most people are just stupid. I believe that science is a guiding light for modern man and staunchly oppose any religious or corporate rape of it.

A word of warning - I am rather stupid and stubborn so any attempts to persuade me on anything will probably be in vain. You are welcome to try, though.
