PINOY ATHEIST: My journey as a Filipino atheist living in Manila.

Pinoy Atheist...he's a Filipino who doesn't believe in the existence of a god or gods. In a nation who is supposed to be "one of the largest Christian nation in Asia", what is he doing here?

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

You can visit me @ the Rizal Park. Just go to the debating area (that's near the chess plaza) every Sunday evening (8:00 PM to 12:00AM) and look for John.
