C. Boyd Pfeiffer

C. Boyd Pfeiffer is an internationally-known award-winning journalist who has written for the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, Washington Times and Baltimore Examiner and 80 magazines, and he wrote for many years a regular column on the Internet entitled “Religious Skepticism Examiner.” Boyd has received dozens of awards for his writing. He has authored 30 books.His interest in religion stems from his childhood background in a Protestant faith and continued as skepticism when he reached his teens. At Gettysburg College he was taught the “official” history of the bible; he has been self-educating ever since, reading extensively on religion, atheism, philosophy and history, and taking every opportunity to discuss, debate and argue religion of all types and flavors with anyone at all – from those of minimal faith to Bible students, Seminary students, ministers, rabbis, imams, church deacons and elders and the like. For the most part, he found that such discussions got nowhere, as most of his interlocutors could provide no answers (or at best highly questionable information) to his question and the concerns at hand.
