- Bio
- I'm a 39 year old (happily) married guy (no kids) with a flexible schedule and lots of opinions. I was born and raised on the religious right, but now I live on the secular left. (Sorry, mom!) I'm interested in pop culture, politics, religion, the culture wars, and philosophy (among other things).
