Hello, I'm Kazan - I was born 1983-12-25, and soon to be married (2006-11-11). I am a software developer, both for my day job and on the FreeSpace 2 Open Source code Project. I have partially completed a degree in computer science and will be returning to school to do the rest.. presently. I currently work in the eGovernment software sector for a state contractor.
I have no tolerance for religious extremists who feel they have the right to legislate their beliefs. Yet, I have no tolerance for smokers, and lie about SHS every chance I get. No, you don't get to tell homosexuals they're evil, and legistlate against them (that's bigotry). No, you don't get to tell people they cannot have abortions. No you don't have the right to claim they're committing murder as no objective definition of murder fits featuses as they are not yet individuals. No I'm not going to burn in hell for being an atheist, it's your hell - you burn in it. No, you don't get to keep your religious crap in the United States government - it's against the constitution.
Christians, muslims, etc who work against the extremists of their various religions and promote religious freedom and equality are to be applauded. They need to step up and drown out the extremists. I'll disagree with you, and argue with you, about religion - but it will be on friendly terms.
Non-voluntary circumcision is absolutely unacceptable in all cases and constitutes Genital Mutilation. Medically warranted circumcision should only be used when absolutely warranted and less-invasive proceedures have had no effect (per the British Medical Association's quite astute recommendation). The foreskin is not "just a flap of skin" (http://www.noharmm.org/advantage.htm) and no it's not just "a little snip" (http://www.noharmm.org/snip.htm)
Concerns
- Computer Games, especially space flight combat simulations (Wing Commander, FreeSpace 2)
- Cessation of anti-atheist bigotry by christians, especially in the United States
- Prevention of non-voluntary circumcision (as I am the victim of such)
Quotes/Misc
- "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" -- Benjamin Franklin
- "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" -- Article 11, US Treaty With Tripoli 1796
- “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?” - Epicurus
- Circumcision is Genital mutilation - All Claims to the contrary are based off bad science, and effects that can be gained via non-invasive means (like wearing a condom)
