About Me Part 2
Be a Critical Thinker and Question All Things — I don’t just take for granted things I have always been taught. I analyze, question and search for my own answers. I want to know the REAL TRUTH. Who am I? I am just normal guy (just like you!) who believes that I have the right to the Truth without having to be bound to someone else’s teachings just because they have some great title, degree or credentials that somehow give them license to be the owners of what they say is the truth.
Why should I have to believe what anyone else says who calls themselves an authority or theologian or preacher or some self-proclaimed prophet or whoever? I believe that each person can speak to God directly and that God wants to have communication with us as his own sons and daughters.
You don’t even have to believe what I say! Look it up for yourself. Search for the truth for yourself. And above all, question, question, question. Be a critical thinker!

About My Life
I want to focus on the parts of my life that relate to the objectives of my writings. I’m writing about things that affected me, basically in a religious sense, that have possibly affected others in the same way and others might be able to relate to.
As a child, sermons about “fire and brimstone” and the “bottomless pit”, spoken of in the bible from a very fiery preacher, were intensely frightening. Here I was, a little kid, in my imagination, lumped together with the fate of those who are destined to fall into that horrendous “bottomless pit”!
Being a little kid and understanding almost nothing of the realities of this world (much less the next one), caused much anxiety and depression and coupled with the outrageous sermons of the fire and brimstone preacher lead me into a deep and withdrawn state, not to mention sleepless nights and horrible nightmares of endlessly falling down a bottomless pit in unimaginable agony — for all eternity, with no chance of getting out — ever! And all this, mind you, in the mind of a sensitive, scared 2nd grader, with no one who could understand me or give me any comfort, much less help!
