Deacon essentially means servant, so to me, my name has more meaning now than what my young earth creationist parents intended when they gave it to me.

It’s all about people. Down here. I want to be a helper.

You want to hear a really funny story, my country went through a slow secularisation 250 years ago, so nowadays everyone is pretty much atheist.

But the Christian puritanism and guilt is still deeply in our culture.

We literally have the worst parts of Christianity with none of the reassuring religious elements.

We just feel shitty and guilty all the time, with no one to absolve us or pray to.
