My name is Alexander James, and by accident of birth I am white and from a culturally christian country. By choice I married a Taiwanese woman from a buddhist family. We're both hard-core atheist. I wouldn't have it any other way. My parents were liberal and decided that I should decide myself, when I was old enough, if I wanted to join a church. I didn't want to. I think my mother was disappointed, but I like to think my father was silently impressed. Today I am a happy, husband, father, writer, skateboarder, unicyclist, nudist, radio amateur, and comic book nerd.
