That is amazing ! What did you get your degrees in .
@Cast1es BA Culinary Arts, BA Religion/Philosophy, BS Psychology, MA Education, DDiv.
@SkotlandSkye It's interesting you got a BA in religion/philosophy , and now you've joined Agnostics . So do any of these relate to your job/source of income ?
@Cast1es You are surprised by the BA in R/Ph but not the DDiv? One kind of leads into the other. If you read my profile and looked at my photos, you would know. I use all of them. 
I've been a chef for 30+ years, an ordained minister since 1993, and I teach/edit/write/do demonstrations. The Psych degree has also helped immensely with the wide variety of people and issues with which I've had to deal.
I apologize , I did not recognize that one when I first read it . Doctor of Divinity , of course . Which makes it even odder that you're here . Agnostics. com . Most of us weren't raised this way . We were brought up in a religion , and studied which ever religion our parents had been brought up in . After years of training (brainwashing) , it just didn't make sense . So we've left it behind us . And you ? Are you here because , after all of that training you've decided it didn't make sense to you either ? Or are you here to try to convert us back ?
@Cast1es I was never Christian. My BA in Comparative Religion I specialized in Earth-based and traditional, native, aboriginal religions -- specifically 2 Native North American Tribes, 1 MesoAmerican, and the Picts. After I left the USAF, I was heavily involved in Pagan rights and was a Wiccan and coven leader as well as the director for a large LGBT non-profit. I entered a traditional, church sponsored seminary program as a Wiccan. My reasoning for doing so was to receive ordination so that I could legally perform Pagan weddings and LGBT weddings (commitment ceremonies at that time since they weren't legally recognized). This was a time prior to the internet "churches" offering ordination on line. hahaha If I had waited a decade, I could have saved $15K! anyhow...after my ordination, I was one of the founding members of the LGBT Marriage Alliance and I also once owned a wedding chapel in Tennessee. All told, I've performed over 3000 weddings and over 200 funerals. I still do weddings and funerals today and have had the privilege of doing quite a few atheist services.
@SkotlandSkye Friend I met through the SCA is pagan , and I have been to both a gay wedding and a funeral she has performed . Beautiful services !

You really asking? I hoarded the only thing worth hoarding.... Memories of Great Moments... I overachieved in the pursuit of women. I am a simple, honest, humble man with no titles, beliefs, heroes, mentors or bromances.... still searching for that heavenly creature that will break my heart. I am happy with my 2 daughters and my son. Happy of my good health and looking forward not to change my path in life... I am satistied collecting experiences that cost no money yet are invaluable. I hope to see you all in the afterlife campfire to trade stories and adventures.... Do not tell me how much money you had when you die, Tell me how much money you spent in your happiness while you were alive. And yes, I was that rare and unique guy that listened to his penis more than the average guy and lived without regret.

I graduated from Wester Michigan University in Aviation Science and Administration. I have fueled a DC-9, CRJ200, CRJ700, ERJ145, RJ-85, and a Saab 340. I have towed/pushed back a Saab 340, DC-9, and a CRJ200. Those were good times.

Finally started writing books after years of thinking about it. First one is complete and for sale on Amazon, the second one is half finished. The reviews for the first one have been terrific.
