Hi guys!
I'm new here, and I thought I'd introduce myself. I don't want to give away too many personal details (I like keeping my online life anonymous), but I live in Canada, I'm in my mid-20s, married and a mom of one. I have a BA in History and Sociology, I like tribal fusion dance and yoga. My husband is currently enrolled in a Ph.d program in English.
If I had to describe my "beliefs" (or lack thereof) I'd describe myself as a secular humanist. Both my husband and I were raised Catholic, but as we reached our 20s we both fell out with the religion. We both find the philosophical aspects of Taoism appealing and useful as a general foundation for a lifestyle, but we don't have any plans to raise our son as "Taoist" or anything like that.
That's about it! Hi everyone!

Welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here. Thanks for the information on you and your husband. Secular Humanism is, in my opinion, a very good way to describe and label oneself if need be.

I agree secular humanist does sound quite nice, not nearly as bad ass as Operating Thetan Level III...but then again, not all of us are as badass as Maverick.
