I am an atheist. I am also a legally ordained minister. I don't have a belief system, more of a lack of on altogether. To get a better understanding of what an atheist is, please see the Wikipedia post on the subject, it sums it up to my satisfaction: ATHEISM in a NUTSHELL. I started this ministry as a way to express my opinions in a forum that isn't in everyone's face. I wanted to rant, but not on Facebook. I understand that I have friends and family with like minds, yet wanted to avoid potentially creating a conflict as religion can so easily do. Politics, religion, sex, the validity of morality - these are the subjects this ministry will address. There are no right or wrong views, but if you can't agree with this congregation on a fair amount of topics, this may not be the place for you.
Another reason I started this ministry is to provide the services required by law yet monopolized by the christian empire in this country. You may be a christian. That's O.K., we don't discriminate here! We provide all services without regard to your faith. My goal is to give you another option when getting married, on deciding how to conduct the grim business of dealing with the recently deceased, or pesky little problems posed between church and government in between. I am not a lawyer, but will give you advice based on experience and current practice.
I am a normal person, no weird angles here. I like watching movies, cooking, and new technology. I have hobbies such as video gaming (I have been a gamer since the 80's.), making craft food like beef jerky and hot sauce, playing with computers, and gardening. Just an average guy with a handful of skills and nowhere to apply them. I have made mistakes, learned from most of them, and am trying to improve, enjoy, and experience my life.
