What's missing at the Nexus

Look in a phone book.  You'll notice little Xian fish all over the place.  It's their little sign.... "support my business, I am one of you." That is one of the attractions of religion, it is instant networking and more often than not financially beneficial to belong to a church.

So what about we free thinking folks who do not buy the bull?  How do we benefit from knowing each other?  Oh yeah.  I know.  We get to feel better because we know there are people like us out there.

But that isn't working is it?  With almost 10K members we still can't cough up a paltry sum like $5K!!!  WTF.  The freakin holy rollers do that in minutes.

I wrote in my profile that I am desperately seeking machinists, CAD designers and artists for a project.   But I am looking to work with Atheists!!!

We need a networking system at the Nexus so we can do what the world does...  Support each other by engaging in exclusive trade with each other.

So anyway.  If there are any CAD friendly machinists out there with access to CNC mills and skills, let me know.

I'll start the program right here.

P.s.  I just donated 10 bucks to the Nexus.

This is a great idea. It would be great to have something like this for non-theists. We could all use a little help from each other.

I agree and mentioned this a while back. If you mention your own business anywhere on here right now, it's looked down upon. Yes, we need a directory.

WHAT????

It's looked down upon? Doing business with each other is looked down upon?

We're doomed.

Can someone here can tell me how doing business with each other is anything but GREAT?

I tried to share my links before and from what I recall, I was told that there is already a place for that- on your profile page= so much for networking.

One single page with a link from the main A/N page would be nice, a simple listing with Name of Business, Your name, brief description and external link.

Seems like a reasonable addition. Is there any reason it couldn't be done with the existing infrastructure, say as a new group?

This is a start -

A forum category for this would also be a good idea. A classified ad program for a nominal fee has also been floated regularly.

The problem with those groups is visibility. Choose or create one and it should be visible from the homepage.

I have been working with CAD for over 10 years. Feel free to message me about your project, maybe I can help.

You know that fish thing? Reminds me of the idea that christians hold about the sign of the devil. How no one will be able to operate in society unless they have the mark. I find it ironic that they are using this symbol to identify each other...we do not do that as atheists, so who is the reviled one here?

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 4 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

anti-atheist rant from an Orthodox Mormon part 2

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

Anti-atheist post from an Orthdox Mormon

What do you think of this Facebook comment?

 

 

Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,

 

for once you and I can agree on something.  We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God.  Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism.  Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous.  Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
