Hello to you all!
And an especially HUGE Hello to all of the Ex-muslims here who have braved severe bodily injury to become thinking, caring members of the Human society!!!!
I'm Dave, a 53 y/o Firefighter from Canada.
I'm 6'2, 220lbs with wavy blonde hair and blue...oh crap, wrong site..sorry.
Well it's true except the "wavy hair" bit, but I digress.
I came across the CEMB home page because I appreciate those who stand up against intolerant religions (or whatever dogma) and I couldn't help but be sympathetic for these brave folks who have unshackled themselves from it. WTG, all of us need more like you to step forward and raise your voices. Then I started reading the forums a few days ago and I was SUPER impressed by the intelligent and well prosed posts by the members. I'm a member at FaithFreedom.org but I'm constantly appalled at most of their senior members who just hate-bash any muslim posters there as bad as they would be on an Islamic forum. Two wrongs do not a right make, and at this site I've found the members to be analytical and intelligent in their debunking of religions. That's how it's done IMHO, nobody responds well to having some idiot (even if they're right) up in your face calling you a bunch of dirty names. That just makes anyone all the more more stubborn, we are only human after all.
I've been doing PC help forums for over 15 years now. I worked for free as an independant malware analyzer for AV companies and antimalware developers for about 12 of those years. I reverse engineered new varients and then together we'd work out techniques to defeat them. After 12 years I was burnt out and the new stuff these days is so complex it can take a week of work, and by that time it's morphed another 3 times already... sigh. I'm getting ready to hang up the boots soon, and all the security industry has in-house staff to do this these days, so I'm done in both careers. I still help out as a Windows expert on some forums at times and I build machines so I'm pretty good with hardware too, but I just don't have the drive to do it as much as I used to.
I'd like to say that I'll be a constant contributor here and on every day, but my health and energy levels just won't play nicely enough to accomodate that unfortunately. But I will pop in now & then to read some and say Hi, and add my buck-O-five's worth when my fingers don't hurt too much to type.
Again tho...man, I really admire those of you who are under constant threat because of your informed decisions to leave a tyrannical ideology. I can't imagine the stress that puts you under, but we All
Thank you for making it, and wanting to help others make it as well. Whatever I can do to help you with that end, I will do. I see a very dark future for mankind if things continue as they are, unchecked and unrecognized by too many, as usual until it's too late.
Please feel free to check out my 1st post here so you can have an idea of how I think.
Oh, it won't let me post a link, not even an internal one, so let's just try the URL - nope, can't do that either. Oh well...you want me...find me! Hahahah..
Dave
