Great to hear from people! I can see from the stats that the blog is quite widely read, but it's fantastic to be able to get a put some virtual faces to the numbers!<br /><br />Thomas, you'll have to send me a copy of your thesis when finished.

I am an atheist, and I believe I got to your blog from something I read on Pharyngula...<br /><br />My interest in religion began when I moved from Canada to the bible belt. Hadn't needed a religious label growing up in Canada - now I feel smothered by religion....<br /><br />Thanks for the cool blog!Celinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674384864955231353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051713021757781960.post-19955495991623290332010-07-16T10:42:19.758+01:002010-07-16T10:42:19.758+01:00I am Alex, and I live in Geelong, Australia, just ...I am Alex, and I live in Geelong, Australia, just outside of Melbourne. I am currently in my final year of highschool, completing my IB diploma. If you don't know what that is, it's basically an internationally recognized highschool certificate. I came across this site as part of my research for my extended essay, which is a 4,000 word research essay that is one of out assessment tasks for the IB. It has been very helpful!<br /><br />As for my interests... well I am pretty keen on science, but can develop an interest in pretty much anything. I am thinking of a career in science, medicine, or possibly chemical engineering after I finish highschool (it's a hard choice).Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051713021757781960.post-40859080033570427862010-07-16T01:30:00.682+01:002010-07-16T01:30:00.682+01:00This should be fun.

I live in central Florida when I am not at school. I am interested in drawing and painting, mostly traditionally. My favorite subjects are people. I hope one day to do work for Irene Gallo at Tor books, and to create my own licenses. I am the person I am based on the heritage that predates my grandparents, my genes, my environment and opportunities, my parents example, and the person I work towards becoming. Mostly because a friend in middle school drew much better than me and I was always trying to catch up.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me share I hope you drop by my blog: http://threecharles.blogspot.com<br /><br />-charlesCharles Valsechihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041325601134421884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051713021757781960.post-4975242354332150772010-07-15T23:59:31.889+01:002010-07-15T23:59:31.889+01:00Taking each question in turn: Philosophy lecturer,...Taking each question in turn: Philosophy lecturer, living in Poland, interested in cognitive science of religion and supernatural beliefs and practices from a naturalist point of view in general, grew up in Poland and Australia reading too much Bertrand Russell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051713021757781960.post-1418741255837364242010-07-15T23:18:09.565+01:002010-07-15T23:18:09.565+01:00My name is Karl Frank.

I found your blog through Dale McGowan's blog and was very happy about it. Epiphenom is on my blogroll. <br /><br />I live in St. Louis, MO and have my whole life. I am a self-employed computer consultant, youth football coach, married father of four, and elected school board member for our local school district of 11,000 students.<br /><br />I'm an avid reader, writer, and researcher just for the sake of it and love Nassim Nicolas Taleb's classification of "skeptical empiricist." I think it explains me pretty well.<br /><br />More than anything, I love my kids and family.<br /><br />Anything else?Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508555524383135538noreply@blogger.com
