A Brief Introduction

[bbeljefe]

Hello all,

I'm a 44 year old male in northwest Louisiana. I've been an atheist for most of my life, although I didn't realize it until I reached about twenty five. I started challenging all of the other falsehoods society had foisted upon me at about that time and by now I have managed to alienate myself from just about every corner of culture one can imagine. On top of being an atheist, I'm also an anarchist and my wife and I lead an alternative lifestyle. Maybe my moniker should be AAA??

In any event, I'm a rational empiricist who enjoys discussing most anything other than sports, celebrities, television or movies. I'm a big fan of philosophy, although not so much with the abstract, nonsensical lifeboat scenarios that most people argue ad nauseum. I can do a little of that but I prefer to focus on the ethical problems we can actually do something about in our lives and that we actually experience on a day to day basis.

To keep with the title of my post, I'll refrain from blathering on further and simply say that I look forward to some thought provoking discussions with some of you in the future.

Thanks,
BB

Hey and welcome!

Are you from Shreveport?

Baton Rouge, here.

I'm actually "from" Tyler, Texas but a thinking person can only live in the nineteenth century for so long, so I moved to Shreveport about seven years ago.

Not that it's remarkably different here. I think the percentage of backward people is about the same but, there are more people here so a slightly better chance of meeting like minded individuals.

lol, so I was right.

And yeah, I know Tyler. I used to live in Katy, so whenever I would drive from BR to Katy I would pass through Shreveport and Tyler.

I see that you and I differ greatly on the definition of brief.
