Howdy Everybody
I’ve just recently had the pleasure of joining Freethought Fort Wayne and I thought I would introduce myself.
I’m the definition of a natural born skeptic. I’ve attended several churches a few dozen times over the last three decades, but never as a believer. From what I understand, it is rare to never have been indoctrinated into a religion, especially in a town like Fort Wayne, the “City of Churches”.
I go by the handle Theo Doersing, but it is not my real name. This is not out of fear. I am quite openly anti-theist and a humanist. I use this handle because of my devious sense of humor.
Theo Doersing is an anagram. I’ll let you figure out what it is.
I’ll leave you with a few tidbits of my silly side until next time because “A little nonsense now and then is welcomed by the wisest men” (Willy Wonka):
cross eyed = blinded by faith
There’s no “I” in HEAVEN, but there’s no “U” either.
A freethinker uses his brain, is compassionate, and is not afraid to accept death.
A Christian knows that somewhere over the rainbow God is waiting with his brain, heart and courage.
Belief is relief
But prophets make profits so
Beware of dogma
Abstinence is the only form of safe sects.
And most importantly:
Don’t wipe. It’s a sin to touch your pooper.

Ha! Good job Skeptigator! In only five tries too no less! Those other ones are pretty good too. I’ll have to make sure my next anagram can’t be converted into a “dong theory”
Skeptigator already figured it out, but here are some more:
God, Here To Sin
Ed’s Got Heroin
Ignore The Sod
End Hot Orgies
Ten Good Heirs

Maybe I should write these down. I hadn’t realized how versatile the anagram was.
I used it because the first name “Theo” can be short for Theodore or theology and the last name doersing can be seen as doer-sing or one who does and speaks or sings about theology. And it spells out “There is no god. The other interesting thing is that it mirrors my real name rather closely.
It’s like killing 4 birds with one stone.
But it will never “end hot orgies”
