I am Canadian (and proud of it). I love classical music and sushi (and cheesecake for that matter). Nothing is better than a good book. I am extremely interested in history and science. I have been to:

The United States (Florida, Washington D.C., Boston)
Canada (born there)
England (lived there)
France
Belguim
Italy
The Cayman Islands (lived there)
Egypt
The Bahamas
The Dominican Republic

I have always wanted to visit Germany (beautiful country) and Poland which has the last old growth forest (over several thousand years old, and funnily enough protected by Hermann Göring) left on the Eurasian plain.

I am an Atheist (I suppose technically an Agnostic). The burden of proof is on the one who asserts that something exists (ie Russel's Teapot), and yes, it is possible (since we cannot prove a universal negative) that somewhere in the universe there might be a god. For grades 4-7 (I skipped grade 5) I went to a private Christian school (First Baptist Christian School, in the Cayman Islands).

I also happen to think that citations must be included with articles. Don't write whatever you would like and find citations in a few weeks (or expect other people to do it), or even worse, not citing it all (even after criticism).

Phillipps is not my real name. He was a 19th century bibliomaniac (person who obsessively collects books) who amassed the largest private collection of manuscripts, as well as English legal books, and pretty much any other kind of book. Unfortunately he bankrupted his company doing it. It took over a century to auction off all of his books (which he endowed to the British Library, although they didn't want them)

I think that the Atheism article should be balanced and ordered. I have been observing the various talk pages around Conservapedia, and I have noticed the same pattern: User suggests reform, initial acceptance by a few users, reform dies. Because of this I will attempt to reformat the "Atheism" article and show everyone a better alternative.
