==Personal Life==
Justin grew up in the United Church of Canada. He was “an odd breed of Christian” in that he was raised in a very moderate church with a very moderate mother and an atheist father, but ended up becoming a young Earth creationist.
His view was that if god were all powerful, then surely he could make the bible say whatever he wanted it to say, and it would be incorruptible, so it would make sense in whatever language it was translated into. Therefore, he thought that when it says that he created the world in six days, that's what it literally meant. It didn't take long for him to find the accounts of people having added up the ages of all the people given in the bible, and coming to the conclusion that the Earth is only a few thousand years old.
He attended a Christian high school, of the Brethren in Christ denomination. Whilst the BIC church is not officially Young Earth Creationist, a number of the teachers at the high school were, notably a geography teacher who would often insert comments into his lessons about things like the ice canopy pre-flood model.
When Justin graduated high school and went off on his own, he ended up at a pentecostal church for several years. He left that church when the pastor started a sermon series on why giving money to the church is important, and made it clear that he wouldn't stop the series until everyone in the congregation was tithing. It was a very small church with only a dozen or so members, and after week 7 of being guilted and shamed into giving, Viced Rhino went back to a BIC church, which felt more comfortable.
This was the church he attended until becoming an atheist.
He currently lives in Ontario, Canada, with his three children. His wife passed away in November 2021.https://twitter.com/VicedRhino/status/1458992180652134400 He has a job as a server at a restaurant.
