An article in the Tri-City Herald last last month described Fernando Aguilar, an open atheist in Walla Walla, Washington who has been to Iraq twice and Afghanistan once since 2003 building water systems, hospitals and schools.
Using the skills he has to benefit others is part of the code Aguilar lives by.
He believes that when you die, your mind and consciousness die too. That urgency gives his life meaning.
Thanks to the Tri-City Herald for publishing a fair and factual article reminding readers there are alternatives to superstitious woo, to Atheist Revolution for bringing this story to our attention, and most importantly to Fernando Aguilar for helping to make the world a better place while he's here.
