I'm a just a normal dude. I tend to be pretty independent, I've been reading this site for a while and thought maybe I'd like to participate. I'm an atheist and a free thinker, but I'm also fiscally conservative and usually identify as a right-leaning libertarian. I live in upstate New York and I'm also openly gay. I'd like to maybe change a few minds on a few issues if I could. I think classical liberalism had its time and was a necessary thing at one time but for the most part we're past that time. I don't think that atheism or homosexuality is a political issue and it shouldn't be made into one: human rights aren't up for debate. For the most part I don't agree with the current gay rights movement I think it's to left-wing and political when in fact it should be much more centrist and apolitical. I think if they changed their politics, they would be able to convince more conservative types that gays are not bad people and are not a "scourge on society", just walk a mile in there shoes, it's not always easy, but we are what we are. As a former Christian, I know for a fact that the most Christian thing to do is to love and accept people for who and what they are. That being said, I'm here to help.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire

Believe those who seek the truth. Doubt those who find it.
