My will is going to look like this:

"to my son or daughter i give all of my bills....sucka!"

Anyways my faith doesn't quite influence my career but my career has influence my faith. Those damned chemists should all become philosophers and those physicists should learn some actual maths.

What do I do for a living:

As darn little as I can get away with, I'm retired, but I drive my Psychiatrist of a Sister crazy, she's always trying to figure me out and just about the time she think she does, I'll do something completely different and it drives her crazy........but seriously, and I say this with a little trepidation, I worked for over 30 years for the State of Maryland as an equipment operator,prior to that I was in the military and now I am the patriarch of a family owned business in the metropolitan Washington, DC area,and it has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on my beliefs...

I am in upper level management for a public company. My background is in Chemistry, engineering, and business. I think my job has little effect on my non religious status, but I think the science background and love of Physicist and Chemistry has opened the doors which closed the door on religion.

Retired early in 2000 from 22 years fishing commercially for salmon, halibut and tuna. During those years I only worked the summer months, but it's a treat to be on the beach in the summer, and done with that dangerous work. I did enjoy the challenge most of the time though...My non belief is the same as it's always been since I was a teen....I'm just more open about it now.

What do you do for a living? Computer systems testing, originally meteorology
does your profession has an influence over your beliefs? Well, I joke about the great god of meteorology, but it is just a joke, so no.
if so why and how? it does not.

1) wife, mother, cook, housekeeper, peace keeper (you get the point)

2) My beliefs influence my profession

3) my beliefs have kept me from leaving and never coming back, they have kept me from murdering certain family members, they enable me to see miracles every day...
