Bio
A secular EU citizen. Open for all cultures and people, but with a strong enthusiasm for defending modern, western ideals on egalitarianism of women's and gay's rights, humanist principles and freedom of speech.
This often clashes with religious doctrine, apparent in the big monolithic religions. Especially troubling, when people try to make excuses for certain backward behaviour of adherents of these religions and which contradict everything the Free Society should stand for.
That is a society that serves the interest of the general public and not that of a social minority, by accommodating to them to every demand and wish.
It is taking and giving, unfortunately, the free secular people often have to give and get back nothing. This is something that a tolerant society should not tolerate!

Quotes:
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Muslim, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit." - Thomas Paine
"Appear far when near. Appear near when far." - Sun Tzu
"Sometimes you will find yourself on the same side with persons that you rather would not be friends with and by no means will I be friends with them and by no means makes one issue that we happen to agree upon friends of one and another. Visions, ideologies and the course of mankind in the 21st Century is more complex than linear answers like: I am leftwing, I am rightwing, I am a centrist. And if you are not with me than you are against me." - Myself
