About Me

I am a humanist and retired software developer. My personailty has been assesed as "amiable, but not sociable". I am interested in science and music.

I believe there is probably no God. And the most important word there is 'probably'. There is no solid evidence for God's existence, and science offers a better explanation of life, the universe and everything than religion.

One consequence of this is that I don't believe in an absolute moral code. What's right and wrong is defined by the societies we live in. And they are all different. The best we can say is that we should all be nice to each other. Unfortunately, there are many different ideas about what "being nice" means.

But, of course, I could be wrong. Perhaps God does exist and the differences in our beliefs are down to our imperfect understanding of His message. It just doesn't seem likely to me.
