Hi everyone. I'm Brandon Norgaard. You might have guessed that from my uncreative username. I wanted to pick something like idreamin3d or openeyez, but I figured it is important to just let people know who I am since I am an aspiring writer. I wrote a book a few months ago during time off from work and I created a website to explain this project and to allow people to discuss the issues covered in my book.

My book, which is called "Seeking a More Enlightened Worldview", is about a few things, but my main argument is that a new worldview can be constructed that is more enlightened that either those that are purely secular and those that rely on religious faith.

I largely agree with secular writers such as Dawkins and Harris with regard to religious faith. I argue that basing belief on faith is irrational. But I disagree with the new atheism writers on other points. The problem with purely secular worldviews, such as atheism and humanism, are not as comprehensive as they could be because they seem to assume moral realism without providing a basis for this within the worldview.

If you want more info, please visit my site: EnlightenedWorldview.com

One last thing, this is clearly the best philosophy site on the web!

Brandon
