- About Me:
- I was a Christian, but was then educated in Biology and realized that christianity did not make sense at all.
I'm a lot of fun and a generally happy person. I love life and plan on living it to the fullest.

- Why are you here?
- It's nice to know there are others out there just like me. Who think the same way I do and share my beliefs, or should I say lack of beliefs.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.

Robert E. O'Dell commented on Mercedes Anderson's blog post 'Low Intelligence?'"Which takes greater intellegence: lineal adherence to a doctrine of faith, or skeptical evaluation of evidence? You have done the analysis that they run away from because it just might challenge their believing what they want to believe.…"
