About

Raised (reform) Jewish, the notion of a physical Heaven & Hell as well as having a messiah (such as Jesus) was always foreign to me. I have always been an atheist, I just didn’t realize it and certainly wasn’t out. Growing up, I assumed that mentions of god and the afterlife were pure niceties that no one actually believed in. Later on, I found out how untrue this notion was. I always railed against religion and general conservativism for as long as I can remember. I’ve always felt very connected to the Jewish culture, while lacking faith in the stories. I started blogging in 2006, mainly due to the the fact that “godless” is all too often equated with “immoral”.

There is a beautiful purpose to life: the wondrous process of evolution and the universe at large.

I’m a freelance web designer and developer as well as a digital artist.
