| About me: | A 32 year old Chinese guy born and raised in the Philippines (I’m surrounded by “true believers”). My mother is Catholic and my father is Buddhist, but fortunately, neither one of them forced me into their beliefs, partly because they were not “hardcore” believers themselves. I finished my primary and secondary education in a non-sectarian school, but finished a Computer Science degree in a Catholic university. I’ve been a skeptic all my life. My wife is a Christian (although not hardcore either), and I have a 4 year old daughter of whom I am already teaching critical thinking. | |
