Meet the Creator
Hello. I was raised as a Roman Catholic. When I was twelve years old, I told the priest that I was going to quit being an altar boy because I didn’t believe in God. When the priest said that I had better believe in God or I was going to go to Hell, I replied that I didn’t believe in Hell either. Something seemed very wrong to me with the notion that a God, if there is one, would fault (and punish) someone for being reasonable – and being reasonable seemed to make belief in the existence of a God unjustifiable. Anyway, that was the start of my skepticism and my commitment to science and logic.
I got the idea for my first novel, The Champion of Reason, while staying on a houseboat in Kashmir. Information about that book (now available only as an eBook) and my six other books (all of which are in the Humor Section), is at www.jimriva.com.
I set aside three other books that were in the works to return to the Champion of Reason and create audio sketches in Garageband. I hope that you enjoy the sketches.
