Are you the same person here on Answers as you are in real life? If not, why?

Eh, I'd say at this time, agnosticism is running my life. I have so many questions. And yes, I ask as many questions in real life as I do on here! I am very inquisitive.

Yes, I am the same person here as I am in real life. The only difference is that I do not flaunt my atheism in real life, for fear of prejudice.
However, the same things that led me to atheism serves me well in real life. I continue to use objective rationality, analysis of evidence, and critical thinking. These things have helped me in my personal and professional life so much.

Atheism cannot run my life. Think about it. Atheism is a lack of something, how can it run my life?
Atheism cannot run my life just as Alzheimers cannot run my life because I don't have Alzheimers!
If you mean do I question people's religions when the conversation arises in real life, then yes, yes I do.

Pretty much the same person. I'm not acting, or adopting a persona.
But atheism doesn't run my life in the sense that it's all I do, or focus on.
I'm not a driving fanatic because I drive my car but, when I'm doing it, it does absorb the majority of my attention.
So here, If I'm in R&S, that's the bit of me that shows.
In Optical, my Optometry comes out more...

Of course I'm the same person in real life than I am here, why wouldn't I be?
The only difference is in real life I look like the lead singer from Amon Amarth (not that anybody knows who they are)

I don't allow my atheism to run my life at all....which is certainly not the case in people who believe in God and religion. I allow my principles, my sense of fairness, my kindness, my good nature, my good will, my adherence to most of the principles of religion (without needing a god to worship, or the hypocsricy, exploitation, or evil and killing of religion) to influence...not run, my daily life. I am most certainly the same person in life, that one sees on here. What you see, is what you get.

Yes, I'm the same in real life. Atheism doesn't "run my life". (What a small-minded phrase.) It liberates me to live my life.

It doesn't run my life. I live my life like any other ordinary person - I go clubbing, work, hit the gym and go home to Scotland occasionally to see the folks.
I don't need a God to do that so I don't think about it. On here, I just answer questions - some stranger than others.

Atheism is more like a total lack of any outside thing running my life. No special rules to follow. No church to attend. No book to study. I'm just free to be me (an honest, caring, hard-working, loving, man-husband-father- friend-teacher- worker-citizen).
Cheers!
