Arthur Frederick Ide

Born in Iowa. Raised Lutheran. Became Southern Baptist for one woman. Converted to Roman Catholicism for a different woman. Now, happy having given up childish things, I recognize no religion, no creed, no authority other than intellect and scientific investigation and analysis. Educated nationally and internationally, and still hunger to learn more. My life centers around reading, investigation, research, and translation. The end-purpose, for me, is writing what can be verified without faith or imprimatur.
