About me

Gender	Male
Industry	Engineering
Location	Austin, Texas, United States
Introduction	I was born in Liverpool in the UK, which has the best football team in the world by the way, and I've studied at UT Austin and University of Portsmouth in the UK. I was previously religious and I belong to a religious family, but I am now an agnostic who tends towards atheism. My reason for losing faith was not moral or emotional, but that the Theory of Evolution seemed much more plausible to me than the story of Adam and Eve etc. However, the process was long, sad and traumatic as I was quite young at the time and devoted to my faith. I try to write, but I don't know if I'm any good! I am not liberal or conservative but a mosaic of both. But none of my views are very extreme. I've been to the U.S, Canada, the UK, Pakistan & Saudi Arabia, but I would like to see much more. I attended military school so I may be a bit strange. I've had some rough times here and there in general. Just in case it matters to you, I am a brown guy with some Mid-Eastern heritage.
