In the beginning.

Hi there,

Thought I'd try something more personal to me and a lot of people. I'd like to state from the outset that through this blog, I intend no disrespect towards anyone or their beliefs, faiths or creeds. If I say anything that offends, please accept my pre-emptive apologies as I know everyone has a limit and I might not know if I over-step.


So a little more about me. 
I am an Atheist. Or more specifically, a weak Atheist. I do not believe that God(s) do not exist, I simply cannot believe in them because of the way my mind works. I am a very logical person and a very scientifically literate person. I place my "faith"- as it were - in controlled tests that are repeatable and produce real, tangible results.
I am on the Asperger's spectrum. Albeit incredibly mildly - but detectably. This probably compounds the lack of "Theism" that I entertain. Feel free to ask questions about it if you wish. I'll do what I can to answer them.
I have a religious girlfriend. She is a "Born-again" Christian like the rest of her family and I get on with all of them just fine. I even attend church services with them every now and again and I am an active member of the youth group that her church provides for the younger members of this city. It's a nice distraction after the Voyager-like "year-of hell" I've been through.

What I hope to achieve with this blog.
Well, I suppose I hope to allow both religious and non-religious internet users to read this and gain an insight to a certain aspect of the global community. It is a way for me to document my dealings with religion and how I feel about it. It will also hopefully show that even we, without the varied methods of religion, have decent morals, respect for others and are generally (and genuinely) nice people.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
