What be The Tribe?


Let's see....

My name, in most of its unexpurgated glory, (there are middle names too!!!) is Jayaprakash Satyamurthy!! Call me JP, Jay or even knivesout, it's much easier.

I'm 26 (1977 born) and live in Bangalore, India. My brithday occurs onthe 7th of each July.

I work as a web content writer and what they call an Information Architect .

I am deeply into reading - largely sf/f but other odds and ends, too. Some favorite non-engre authors: Orwell, Martin Amis, John Banville, Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco. I also write on my own account, and hope to make something of it some day.

Also quite into music. My tastes are broad. Oh, I play a bit of bass guitar too.

My dislikes are varied and virtually all-encompassing.

I am rather cynical and even a bit aloof at times, but quite approachable for all that. If you meet me in person, don't let the serial-killer eyes put you off!


There. Info-dump done!

There's something we have in common! Although a friend describes me as a 'mystical atheist' whatever that is.

I had my first hangover at 20, btw. Hurt like hell.

[Foxbat]

Although a friend describes me as a 'mystical atheist' whatever that is.

I have always viewed Atheism as a faith in its own right - after all - I cannot prove the non-existance of God - all I have is my own belief......my own faith.

I consider myself a reluctant atheist - I would prefer there was a God I just don't believe there is one. Perhaps a mystical atheist is something similar?

Or perhaps I'm just being two faithed? (sorry. couldn't resist)

Well, not quite. Although I do not believe in the literal truth of any religious deity, or in the notion of a conscious, interventionist supreme force, I do feel there is more to reality than can be weighed and measured scientifically - yet.

However, I am a reluctant atheist, too - my lack of belief does not come from a cynical reaction, and I would like to be able to believe there is something to the consolations that faith gives so many people.

Anyway, enough of this godless ramling!

You'll have to come to my part of the world sometime, then, riffraff. Along about late August/early September, we've got raisins all over the place. In fact, the town of Selma, just down the road from where I live, claims to be the "Raisin Capital of the World". Unfortunately, I'm allergic to raisins (actually, grapes and anything made out of them), so I get horrible (well, more horrible than usual) allergies that time of year, when they're out drying.

[mzarynn]

Sorry to break up the posts about raisins and God, which I love both by the way, but I thought I might get around to posting my info.
