Transhumanist, non-practicing Antitheist
Raised Roman Catholic, broke with that after a classmate died out of the blue of an aneurysm (how could God let shit like that happen?), after looking through Buddhism and some Occultist stuff, realized that the main function of "God" is to be used as a prop to scam people. I've considered the Satanist Left Hand path, but I don't care about rituals. I'd rather follow the scientific method as applied to everything, and use it to extend and expand human nature. While theists still kind of nauseate me with a dash of pity, like seeing a dead kitten in the gutter, I'm up for positive interactions with anyone capable of maintaining one.
