About the Author




Hello world!  Welcome to the Seersucker Social!  I, your wonderful author, have resided in the foothills of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains for the last 27 years.  It is a wonderful locale smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt.  In my early twenties, I walked out on Christianity and never looked back. Having spent almost all my adult life navigating an uneasy journey through the world as a nonbeliever, I decided to share my wisdom and experiences with the world at large. Among my myriad of oddly specific interests are science related subjects, serial killers, Anime, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and conventions of various themes.  Feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll attempt to find an answer.

Hold My Beer....

Long ago in a galaxy far, far away, I somehow managed to graduate from a small, private college with a bachelor's in Biology.  Now, I don't necessarily use my degree much in my current profession but I still carry an interest in the subject.  It's an excellent thought that in spite of what any individual person might believe, science continues to be true.  Nowadays, I try to keep a passing glance on new theories and discoveries in the field.  Although science-based books aren’t always the most riveting ever written, I occasionally enjoy a good read.  While you’re here, I’m going to go ahead and recommend Carl Sagan’s The Demon-Haunted World and How to Build a Time Machine by Paul Davies. I even manage to continue a small level of activism through protests and outreach websites like Citizen Science (Give it a try sometime).  In this meager way, I can prolong my involvement and aid my fellow man. The real conflict I have is my incredible sadness at t...

I Ain't Seen You In A Month A Sundays

In an area where religion is often considered the default state of being, what is it like to make one's way through life without it?  How do you decide who and who not to tell? How do you break the news to Family? Friends? Random Strangers on the Street?  Are the reactions more often than not positive or negative?  How does it feel to be in the minority? What are the repercussions socially? Financially?  Do you face open prejudice? I hope to answer these urgent questions and many more by imparting my own personal experiences on the matter to you. Hello and Welcome to the Seersucker Social!  A lovely location where we get together to drink sweet tea and sip mint juleps while discussin’ the latest gossip and blessin’ everybody’s heart.   Yeah, not really.  I hope you didn't have your heart set on that. In fact, I'm here because I’ve decided to give you an idea of what atheism is like day to day. In the Bible Belt. Where I was ...

I'll Fly Away, Oh Glory

Today, in the United States and in primarily Christian nations around the world, we celebrate a major Christian holiday: Easter Sunday.  According to the “good” book, on this prearranged day on the calendar, we celebrate the rise of Zombie Jesus three days after he was publicly crucified on a hill with other criminals by those damn, dirty Romans.  My information claims he did this so that the human race, hateful sinners that we are, could be saved from what his father, Capitol “G” god, would do to us if we weren’t.  That’s way more interesting than some silly fertility festival that we obviously borrow quite heavily from.  Although the Catholic church doesn’t openly support the practice, willing participants kick off Easter weekend on Good Friday by reenacting the gruesome details of the crucifixion in communities all over the world.    Here in the American Southeast, Good Friday is a bank holiday and plenty of businesses take the day off. ...
