About the Author
I call myself Dinosatan because I adore dinosaurs and calling myself Satan will hopefully piss off a few fundies. I haven't had a particularly religious upbringing which I'm quite happy about. When I grow up, I wouldn't mind being a writer; I mainly write fiction but I also love to express my passions and opinions through articles. As well as an atheist, I'm also an anti-theist who believes that religion holds back science, causes violence, and makes no sense.

Imagination helps in understanding the why of primitive religion and the need to more to the reason of modern science
