I am a university student with a strong interest in religious philosophy and I hope to train as a biblical scholar in graduate school. I am not religious, however. I am a complete atheist although I like the term philosophical naturalist. I consider myself an anarchist/libertarian-socialist in the Bakunin tradition. I like the idea of 'Parecon' although I am highly critical and distrustful of Noam Chomsky. I am a romantic kind of a guy but I'll be upfront and honest, I love sex. I cannot help it. I despise arrogant religious fundamentalism although I try to respect people's religious beliefs even conservative Evangelical beliefs.
I am 29, from California.
