I called myself a Christian agnostic for years, but I am getting off the fence. I think that there is far more harm than good in accepting any form of absolute doctrine. I am, at heart, a secular humanist. I believe that people have to turn to one another to solve their problems, there is no help from any other source. Speculative physics intrigues me. I have a strong interest in history and psychology.I'm a social democrat (yes, a socialist) but years of following the political scene here in Canada and elsewhere have made me keenly aware of the need to follow the art of the possible by pushing the agenda a bit at a time. When all else fails, I sit in my room with my chihuahua at my knee and a cup of tea or a botte of Czech beer rereading Jane Austen . Born again Christians bug me-I think that Paul of Tarsus and his formula for "salvation" are nuts.My major regret in life is that I was unable to meet Isaac Asimov who is one of the people I most admire
