I don't believe in gods because… well, my opinions as to 'why' shift. My entire family is religious, but my mother's side is on the extreme end of the scale. They always told me, 'God wants to help you, surrender yourself to Him!', and finally, I decided that I was my own person. If there was a God out there and he put me here, then I am grateful, yes, but that does not mean that I am going to submit myself to being a puppet. I'm stronger than 'surrendering myself' to someone, and I'll accept help when I think I need it. I don't need to rely on some magical man in the sky to save me. If I can't save myself, then I don't deserve to be saved. I can see why people turn to religion. It gives them something to lean on, a friend to go to when there is nobody else, and I can see the goodness in that. Honestly, I think the Bible was written to encourage 'good', that is, do not kill, do not commit adultery, and so on. But if the creators of the Bible had known what destruction they were causing the future world, I think they would have burned all the books on the spot. I do not believe in God or any deity, but I do believe in happiness and peace, and I plan to achieve it - without resorting to The Bible. I will change the world someday, and it will be all the better if I can do it without the help of God.

I was raised mostly by a pair of Shetland sheepdogs in the back room of my home, as my birth parents were occupied with other matters. I have been an atheist for 3 or so years now. I am an animal lover, artist, knowledge collector, and future world-shaper.
