| Introduction | Born in the early 60's in rural NJ. Lived in 13 states, traveled to 42 plus the Philippines, Hong Kong, Guam, Korea, Okinawa, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Kuwait and Iraq. Graduated U.S. Naval Academy. Attended Catholic seminary for four years earned M.A. in Theology. A Marine veteran with two tours in Iraq. A faithful Catholic and husband of 15 years and father of five children--all from the same wife and single marriage. As a Catholic, I greatly respect all people who genuinely strive to seek God or who struggle to do so. On the other hand, I have little tolerance for those who make stupid choices and suffer the resulting consequences because they have rejected God. If you are an atheist, agnostic, wiccand, or other Pagan, you better wise up before you find out that your destiny is eternally hot and unpleasant. You, too, Dan Brown. |
