Welcome!

Welcome! I only intend to have two posts for now, one sharing my religious journey from a Mormon to mainstream Christian (for a day) to atheist. The other sharing my political philosophy journey from die-hard Republican to minarchist to anarcho-capitalist. Both of these journeys involved pain that was physically felt during the transitions, but led to elation and gratitude afterwards for the new paradigm.

The blog is named Renegades Hang because I feel like a renegade with my new beliefs, and renegades hang for not conforming. Leaving your religion is social suicide, and becoming an anarchist makes you suspect by the government, who only leave anarchists alone because there aren't enough of them to view as a threat, though the internet is changing that. Back in the day I used to hate atheists and anarchists, and I can't get over that today I've become what I used to hate. I hope you enjoy reading!
