Introduction

I'm a self-employed software consultant and skeptic who enjoys discussing science, religion, history, philosophy, and many other subjects.

Do you have an open mind--open to the possibility that you may be wrong about something?

Absolutely. Rationalism is my foundation, and I try to view the world with an empirical eye and the understanding that belief without evidence, 'faith', is largely detrimental to the well-being of humanity.

Are you willing to have your beliefs and ideas challenged; and to challenge ours?

Skepticism is a core part of my personality. Without challenges to belief, it is hard for society to make progress.

Are you familiar with some basic logical fallacies? If not, please do an Internet search and learn about them.

Yes.

How did you hear about the Suncoast Skeptics?

Meetup search.

  • Dave, check out the Gecko's response to my email about the Wednesday's game on the Discussion's Forum. The GM agreed with me. I think it might improve the game and it spoke well for the Skeptics.
