About me

I am a full-time freelance writer and divide my time between various projects.You can find my work on several publishing sites online, as well as a few history-specific websites.

I am a history fanatic and spend a lot of time reading about history from all corners of the globe and all time periods. Most of what I write involves history of some sort. However, I do write about wildlife, natural sites, step-parenting and cooking as well. I spent nearly ten years as a professional cook and I love all things food. I've been a full-time stepparent for five years. Naturally, that is another interest of mine.

I like to spend all of my free time outdoors or in museums. I live on the South Shore in Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. This is the perfect place for someone like myself. Beautiful natural sites and historic city sites are all within a few minutes drive for me.

Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology Can atheists have soulmates?: 2 of 4

When pondering whether or not an atheist can have a soul mate, you have to take into account that atheists do not believe that such a thing as a soul exists. This not only applies to them, but to everyone; atheists do not think that a single person has ever had a soul in the traditional sense. So if you take the term literally, then no, an atheist cannot have a soul mate and, according to their beliefs, or lack thereof, neither can anyone else. On the other hand, you may find that an atheist, or anyone else, is capable of having a lover that can be equated with the mythical soul mate if yo...
