Nice to be here.

Post by CyborgFranky »

Hi folks, nice to be here.
My name is Rico. I'm 47 and I live in a smallish city in Ontario Canada. Fortunately for me my parents were not church people. Even so I lived in fear of "God" until my late teens, believing that he was watching my every move.. sheesh.
My mother had a ouija board (I know) and that got me in to researching all things paranormal. I approached these topics scientifically and in doing so came to the conclusion that most religions were simply power structures designed to keep the masses under control.
Decades later I find myself in a world that is falling to pieces thanks to political corruption and greed. There seems to be a heavy connection with the church and bad politics and the sooner this ends the better.

Hello! :)

Random question-
How did you find this forum? Do you watch TVA? Do you only watch his religion videos, or do you also watch his ones on eating meat, seeing as you're an atheist but a non-vegan?

I'm curious.

Yes I came here after watching the vid about what atheists should stop saying. That was the only vid I've seen so far. My son and I are about to do a political activist pod cast and watch a lot of TYT, Russel Brand etc. Watching these vids made it very apparent how intertwined politics and religion are and they shouldn't be.

Welcome Rico,

Great to hear you're working on a pod cast, don't forget to post a link when you have it online!

Definitely worth watching more of TheVeganAtheist's videos; there are some great topics that will really get you thinking.
