About: Glenn is 36 years old and now lives in a small town in Northern Ontario with his wife of 13 years and 2 kids. He has been a foster parent for 10 years in 3 different cities. He graduated from Radio College of Canada (Toronto) in 1993 as an Electronic Engineering Technologist and has been working in the electronics industry ever since with companies like Nortel. Glenn does a good amount of reading, studying and thinking about such topics as philosophy, psychology, physics (Quantum Mechanics), religion and science. Glenn does have an I.Q. of > 140 (as does Chris) which is categorized as genius but hasn't bothered joining any I.Q. type clubs. He is very logical and analytical and always looking for a way to make a better world - primarily through self-improvement and in helping others to improve themselves. Most importantly, he constantly re-evaluates his priorities and ensures his time is spent wisely - like working on this site.See Authors Posts (92)

If you look at the frequency of my posts, you can see a distinct drop off in the number of posts I’ve done over the last few months.

No, it’s not because I’m busy (90% of the people that say that are using it as an excuse), it’s not because I’ve run out of interesting topics (I have some ideas now that would be more interesting than anything I’ve posted so far), and it’s not because I’ve become bored or lazy with this site.

In fact, the main reason is that my viewpoints on morality and religion have continued to evolve (some Creationists still have a hard time even hearing that word right?), and are now at the point where many of my old friends and family members would be hurt by my words. And I am not in the business of hurting others. Some of my friends, I do still share my thoughts with, and I say “Thank you!” for hearing me out, debating with me etc. without getting offended or angry with me. I think they all would say that I’m staying true to the goal of this site which is to PERSUE TRUTH. Chris and I understand each other theologically about as well as any people can, and he knows what I’m saying here.

So will I ever be able to post my true, uncensored thoughts here again? I hope so, and I think so. But not today, and probably not for a while. I’m sure I’ll find some interesting thoughts to talk about that don’t involve religion directly so you will still enjoy visiting.

If you’d like to hear my thoughts privately, or even want to “witness” to me or “really get me saved”, feel free to email me at happypsychotic@gmail.com . But be warned, if you only want to tell me what is “right” but can’t explain why you think it’s “right”, it will probably be a short conversation. Last year I was called Joseph Smith (the founder of the Mormons) and this year I’ve been called “an antichrist”. The names don’t bother me, in fact, I’m kind of proud of them because they show I’m not a boring sheep, hidden in the flock.
