  • Hello from Sweden!
     OP - April 26, 2013, 05:57 PM
    Hello from Sweden!

    I hit the register button fast when I saw the "Colonizing Mars" post.
    I've always had my eyes set on the stars. Smiley

    Just a short introduction.
    I'm an ex "new age"/gnostic/free mason... etc.
    I really wish I could call myself an atheist but I'm not quite there yet.
    It's an ongoing process. Basically the most damage religion and spiritual
    practices has done in my life is that it's taken away precious time, and
    a lot of it too, that I'll never get back. Never ever.

    My connection to Islam is mostly from working with teenagers and from
    ex. colleagues and friends that work with honor related violence, LGBT issues
    and genital mutilation (including male circumcision).
    One thing that never cease to amaze me is how difficult it is to bring up
    "honor related violence" and similar topics with people from the left(which
    is where I mostly roam, even though I don't belong to any special group/party).
    People are so afraid of being even remotely thought to have racist opinions
    that they exclude large groups (people with strange names) from their own
    concept of freedom. Bad I think. I like freedom.

    Things that make me happy are:
    Any intelligent persons: Richard Dawkins, Nawal El-Saadawi...
    Or the Femen activists. I'm soo happy I'm not on their hit list. Smiley
    At least I think I'm not on their hit list anyway.

    I bake my own bread, use Linux and being a moderator on a big Linux
    forum I hunt spammers daily.

    Smiley -Rock on!

    When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

    Yes, but I got it from Lovecraft's world and use it all over internet because Cthulhu usually is taken.

    There comes a time in a mans life where you realize that you'll never go to mars.

    Single, Swedish and male (A straight one too..). I'm a bit over 40 and I passed the question on cuteness over to the closest available girls (I live in a community with a bunch of people) and they sort of agreed that if I shaved I could pass as cute.

    I personally believe that time can almost always be salvaged. I spent a lot of time and energy being religious, but without that I would never have gained this much insight to what being religious is really about and what it's like, and how to deal with religious people, and how to prevent others from making the same mistakes you have...etc.
