Hi everyone; my name's DaemonWulf, I'm an agnostic/atheist living in upstate New York with my wife and teenage son. My passion is motorcycles (I have an '03 Triumph), art (when I actually get around to it I draw pop art stuff in the style of Coop and Bawidamann) and spending way too much time online. I admire free thinkers and those that walk a path others are afraid to tread. I'm a bit left-leaning in my politics (support gay marriage, don't support the war, think that George W was one of the worst things that ever happened to our troops, our economy, and our rights) and I'm bit of a conspiracy theorist, as in I believe most of what Alex Jones talks about but dismiss stuff much further out there than that (aliens inhabiting a secret base under D.C.). The name, if you wondered, started out as something that would sound cool as a CB handle, (just DemonWolf) then evolved into it's current form; daemon (of Greek origin) being a guardian spirit (sometimes with trickster tendencies) and the German form of wulf because I'm a WWII buff who's always appreciated the machines they came up with during the war, especially my favorite old fighter; the Focke Wulf (fighting wolf) FW190. I used to be a terrible prick on web forums because of my temper, but in recent years have learned to dull my initial reaction with this funny thing called reason and actually see things with an objective eye before responding (most of the time). Feel free to ask me anything I missed, and I'm lookin' forward to joining the community.
Hi, welcome to HAF :)
Helo DaemonWulf
Looks like you have a lot to add and we keep a bucket of water handy if you get too hot :D
Welcome to HAF

Hiya! it sounds like you will have a lot to contribute to the discussions here. Welcome aboard!
Thank you all for the welcome. I should be ok, Tank; everyone here seems pretty reasonable, and I've gotten better at dealing with the unreasonable. I just recently stopped trolling an evangelical forum where I was building up my tolerance.. lol.
Helllooo! Nice to have you on board~

I joined Theologyweb and one of the reasons was to get exposure to a theistic way of thinking, so I know where you're coming from. I used to ride a motorcycle when I was younger and a Triumph Bonneville was definitely an object of desire!
Welcome! I really do like your choice of a username ;D
Thanks Sweetdeath and xSilverPhinx, it's great to be here so far. I had to keep the name, since I sign my art with the initials.. lol. Tank, I really didn't join the other site with any noble intentions; I was kinda outraged at a post there and had to put a comment or two in. When I got banned the second time, it was a relief. It's really hard to express frustration while trying to avoid bannable offenses, especially when innocuous comments can get you banned. Their rating system was the best... you start out "under suspicion" and depending on whether you get green (good) or red (bad) marks, can move up to "god's servant" and such, or down to "DOOMED - not getting it, at all". But I've definitely learned more tactful debate. As for the bikes, I've always loved the Bonneville myself; my '03 Speedmaster is a variant on that theme, but she's in the "cruiser" line rather than the Bonnie's "modern classics" line. I'd love a '68 or '69 Bonneville, but I think my next bike purchase will be something newer, more powerful to do some sport-touring on. Maybe a Daytona 955 or Trophy 1200. Been lusting after Kawasaki's ZX14, but they're out of my price range.
