I am Vera, similar to Paolo Coelho’s the Zahir, I value truth.
I rebel against any forms of institutionalized belief and I value freedom and spontaneity. I have a high regard on the primacy and validity of human passions and its role on man’s life.
I am a Post Modern Feminist. I see myself as equal with men, and I don’t fancy people who view women as mere objects for sensuality and thinking that they should always be a knight in shining armor for them.
I am an atheist. I don’t necessarily believe on the existence of any religion, but highly regard “truth” as mere hierarchies of truth or emerging or descending probabilities.
I am a proud Filipina.
i got your URL address from pinoy atheist blog. it is refreshing to see finally women atheists being outspoken about their atheism. more power to WOMEN!
Thanks Max. I do hope that Filipina Atheists will soon make it on the mainstream.

Hi Vera,
I’ve been a militant atheist, a socialist, and a feminist for years. I haven’t seen a site as refreshing as yours for a long time.
I live in Europe, but I’d love to hear from you on any topics you like.
I would be especially keen to hear your take on relativism, epistemological and cultural. As an opening salvo (invitation to debate): I am a moral but not a cultural relativist.
I also believe agnosticism is a poorly thought-through non-position.
Writers I like:
Roy Bhaskar
Daniel Dennett
Anthony Appiah (on “race” only)
Samual Beckett
James Joyce
Subjects I’ve taught:
Comparative Literature
African novel
Cultural studies
Right, I’m going off at the mouth too much.
I’d love to hear from you.
Regards,
Ciaran
Atheists must live sad lives, foolishly believing that there is no life after this. This type of extreme ignorance usually frustrates me to no end, but right now I just feel pity for you.
I pray that you find the truth and meet God before it’s too late. Go- Science bless you.
hi!
it’s great to see other brilliant minds around these parts.
Hi Vera,
I invite you to join our (joma and benj above me, and klitorika, too) group, Filipino Freethinkers at http://filipinofreethinkers.org .
And we’d be honored if you could also guest blog some time. Hope to hear from you soon!
hi Vera, this blog is great read!
I’m glad to stumble upon your blog. Your views are are refreshing, and way too exciting so I decided to follow you!
have a great day!
xoxo,

Hi fickleinpink, thanks for dropping by
Hi Vera, I am a PhD studnet in Philosophy who is interested in Epistemology. Becuase of my interest in epistemology, the title of your blog was interesting to me. A minor rmark: You said in the above descritpton about your self as follows: “I have a high regard on the primacy and validity of human passions and its role on man’s life”. I appreciate your concern for human passion. But you are saying “its role on man’s life”. You intentionallu used ‘man’ or was it a mistake? I am wondering wherther it was mistake becuase it is very doubtful whether it is fair to use the word ‘man’ to reffer to human.
seems like you abandoned this blog. lots of of interesting stuff. too bad.
