Rusty Pipes, Cosmik's Closet Philosopher, is a full time secular humanist, agnostic skeptic, writer, photographer, bicyclist, dad and former professional broadcaster. Rusty really does read philosophy books, including the Bible, and likes to argue scripture with Jehovah's Witneses when they come to his door. He does not believe in witches, the Devil or creation science. He does believe in God, but says that what he calls God may be quite a lot different than what other people call God.

Rusty was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but lived many years in Honolulu where he started his broadcasting career. He worked for several radio stations and was most famous for his rock-comedy show Insanity Palace which aired on KPOI-FM and KTUH-FM during the 70's.

Rusty still deejays in coffee houses and for parties where he lives in San Pedro, California and by day he still deejays also, except that it stands for database jockey, not disc jockey.

Rusty was first published as a writer more than twenty-five years ago. He has been writing for Cosmik Debris for over five years.
