Michael Edminster commented on Kirsten's blog post 'Do we fear determinism for the same reason we fear atheism?'"I'm completely with Dr. del Toro on this one. I don't have any "beliefs" on determinism either way.

Michael Edminster commented on Kirsten's blog post 'Do we fear determinism for the same reason we fear atheism?'"I find it interesting that atheists still like to make their own decisions about the metaphysical nature of things.

- About Me:
- I'm a writer, artist, musician and humanist.
Although I had never been a true believer, it wasn't until I began attending a private University in San Diego with mandatory chapel "worship service" attendance three-times per week that I began actively promoting atheism. ( Interesting side-note: my best friend's roommate was Tammy Fae Baker's grandson.)
A literature and philosophy major who had always been surrounded by a Christian community, I began to ask my friends and professors why they believed in God. I discovered, to my surprise, that most religious people that I know who understand rationalism and reject mythology had one reason for believing in God: "I just don't know what I would do if I didn't believe a higher entity was watching over me. It's too scary."
