Introduction

I'm relatively new to Iowa having moved here in 2007. I grew up in a fairly secular environment in Anaheim, CA and lost any belief in the supernatural a few years after I did in Santa. Looking forward to meeting some like minded people!

Favorite book?

Out of books of interest to this group, I like Creation by Gore Vidal for fiction, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens for a polemic, and any of A.C. Grayling's collections for something more thought provoking.

Favorite movie?

Blade Runner

Atheist, agnositic, neither, or both?

Atheist. I have no belief whatsoever in the supernatural, and find the search for natural explanations to the wondrous complexity around us to be very "spiritual".

  • Well Bruce, you sure have tried haven't you? Now with the gall bladder thing I can't drink until the end of Sept. Do you bar crawl once you've turned back into a Prof.?

  • Bar crawl, huh? Remember that you don't need our official approval to go out and have fun with friends! I'm down for a weekend bar crawl whenever you guys are!

  • If I go this Fri I won't be able to wake up for Coffee & Politics - again! Plus I want Lori to come. She's always organizing and never partying.

  • With Lori's blessing, you could organize an Iowa City bar hop some Fri. night!

  • Being in Nashville is NOT an excuse for missing a meetup. Please explain yourself further before baby Jesus starts to cry. ;)
