I grew up in the 90s, I'm a skeptic atheist from Canada.
Despite this I have a minor degree in Catholic studies, but my major is chemistry. I'm also working on a degree in education.
Any more questions pertaining to factors that influence my bias can be asked…

The Hutch
Hey all,
I'm going to be starting an occasional blog. I'll give my opinion on things that are popping up on media, be it movie, video game, news story etc.
In all honesty, it's mostly going to be news.
I usually draw most of my news from the National Post, a Canadian national news outlet. Though if there are stories that anyone would like me to consider, you can always hit me up in the comments or by message.
