About me
In general, I am interested in religion, philosophy, politics, and science in general. I genuinely get a kick out of keeping information up to date and accurate on the Wikipedia because I feel like I am contributing to a set of human knowledge that people actually refer to. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I was a Mormon most of my life, and now consider myself an atheist or agnostic depending on my mood, and depending on how you define either term - but due to my background I love delving into Mormon history, so I am usually editing any articles that have to do with Mormonism.
