[Non Quixote]

Greetings!

I am a 49 year old biomedical engineer (with a BA in English as well) currently living in Central Florida but in the midst of moving to Middle Georgia.  I was a member of the SBC for the first 15 years or so of my life, but gradually fell away from theism when I was unable to reconcile my Judeo/Christian beliefs with my increasingly scientific worldview.

I class myself a "soft" atheist since I am only about 99.9% sure that nothing supernatural exists.  To put that into perspective, I am only about 99.9% sure that the sun will "rise" tomorrow morning.

I have been a contributing member of atheist.net for several years, but sadly the site has become increasingly inactive of late.  I am looking foward to reading the posts here and say thanks for inviting me to join the HAF forum!

Hello and welcome to HAF, Non Quixote. Are you going to miss Florida? I've only spent a short time there, but aside from the Miami area, it seemed pleasant enough.

Excellent screen name. I share your graduate qualification in English and defection to another discipline thereafter  and also soft, though not very soft, atheism in general , but  count myself as a hard atheist in relation to Christianity. I have found this a highly enjoyable and lively forum in between being banned.

Hello and welcome to HAF, Non Quixote. Are you going to miss Florida? I've only spent a short time there, but aside from the Miami area, it seemed pleasant enough.

I am a Florida native and yes, I'm sure I will miss my home here.  My current home is on a large lake in Central Florida that connects ultimately to the Atlantic Ocean (although it would be a helluva trek) and I hate to let it go. 

My wife is still military and has been stationed at Robins AFB in GA.  Apparently I am expected to move there as well if I want to remain married.

The townhouse that I purchased in Warner Robins is on a 50 acre lake (duck pond really), but it's landlocked and my really big pontoon boat would look a little silly puttering around in it I think. 

It's not forever though and I look forward to retiring to north Florida.

Ooh! Biomed! Sweet.  

Welcome.

Yeah, but don't tell my mom.

She thinks that I'm a piano player in a whorehouse.

Thanks for all of the welcomes everyone!

I was a Storekeeper in the Navy, and a 4A-2 (Biomed) in the USAFR.
