About IronCrow
iron crow is a douchebag that thinks bands like alesana and chiodos are screamo....lol what an idiot
IronCrow grew up in a mixed political family. His dad is a Libertarian but does not like the libertarian Party, while his mother is a staunch Republican. Being in the middle of the political spectrum, IronCrow supports Democratic ideals such as opposition to tax cuts for oil companies, budget control, publicly funded college, etc. Republican ideas include protection and aid to wildlife, pro-life, prayer in school, improved child education laws, etc.
Religion
IronCrow is a Christian with Universalist leanings, neither Protestant, Orthodox, or Roman Catholic. His dad was raised Roman Catholic and his mother a Baptist. However, both parents became members of the United Pentecostal Church, then Baptist again (His father still holds many Roman Catholic ideaologies). IronCrow was different. He grew up a Christian, however, became an agnostic. However, his beliefs changed upon reading Darwin's book and then Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis). He then became a non-religious theist/Deist, and eventually, a Christian yet again. "I tried to find every reason I could to not be a Christian," He told friends, "But my stuburness got me nowhere." About evolution, IronCrow does not believe in it, but is no creationist. He believes whatever happened as man's origin is just something we do not need to fight over, what matters is the realization of Christ's teachings. Though he does believe "God did it," how is unknown to him, as Adam and Eve's story could be symbolism, but it could be true. "God's law, Christ's teachings, to me, is more important than the facts that do not merit whether we enter His kingdom."
Various Topics
IronCrow shows skepiticism towards scientific consensus, UFOs, Radical environmentalism, SETI programs, and radical atheism. He believes that the role of science in policy making in the United States is very much the same as allowing religion to do so. He states, "I don't hate atheism or atheists, just the ones that think their atheism makes them somehow superior to others. You know, people like Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer, and others. I'm cool with an atheist or a Muslim, I don't care what you belief really. A friend is a friend and respect is respect."
On Consensus Science:. I don't want to limit humanity with that. Evolution isn't going to cure cancer, ID isn't going to feed the hungry. I don't care where we came from, I just want to be content with my life. I want to respect others, and I hope they can respect me. The only people I am aware of that forced me to belief in either one has been some atheists. They insult creationists, call them delusional, and disrepect them. They always seem to be at my throat. Creationists, for the most part, just don't care what I believe, so long as I have Christ in my heart. That much I can do. It was atheists that made me into a religious guy, and I thank God I am no longer a proponent of bigotry."
On Global Warming:
"I think Global Warming is of course, happening right now. I do not, however, believe it is as bad as people make it. It's pretty obvious that it's part of our world, but our world also cools and heats, cools and heats. I think we are contributing to the rise in temperature, but I do not think we are to blame, nor are we the primary cause. We will not believe wetaher predictions, so to believe a weather, or climate prediction in the future seems ridiculous to base out investments on. Though I believe in Global Warming, to expect it has such a huge effect is incredibly unrealistic."
On UFOs and Extraterrestrials:
This topic interests me greatly. I love reading about aliens, creatures from space, etc. Movies about aliens seem to be very exciting, such as Star Wars. I do not think that aliens exist as we think of them. Sure, somewhere out there, there may be a civilization of intelligent creatures, but to look for them through our scientific eyes is futile. Basically, what I am trying to say is... SETI is ridiculous and it is not really science. It's a study of some sort, but science? Can it be repeated? I think I'm skeptical towards that."
Philosophers, Scientistst pacifist and intellectual. His views on war and humanity often helps me to cope with the reality that humans are, at heart, peaceful in nature; even though we often do stupid things.
Leo Tolstoy - The greatest proponent of anarchy I have ever read about. I haven't read his actual books, but from what I have read about him, I've found that people either like him or don't like him. I don't agree with anrachy, but he's still an interesting person.
