No worries, I've friended you!

Hi Johnny...I'm also interested in checking out your book.
Comment by Donna Darko on August 24, 2011 at 7:52am
Johnny P, I'd love to see that book.

I've friended you so I can PM / send it to you. Cheers. That's all for now for the free copies!

Please pardon my bragging, but my fantasy novel Polly!, a satire about religion, just got another great review, this time from Frida Fantastic. She says, in part, "The story is comparable to the Frank Capra film It’s a Wonderful Life, but it speaks to non-religious skeptics and has a weirdness that makes it more interesting."

 

And while I'm here, I'll point out my story Portrait of the Artist as a Young God, which might be of some interest to the non-theistically minded.

Looks like a potentially good book, although the Publisher's Weekly review is not very complimentary. But that could be because the reviewer himself/herself was biased towards religiosity. But who knows! I still want to add it to my list.

@ Jonathan Pearce

@ Jen Hancock

 

I have added your books to the list of AN published authors.

 

@ All

 

I have moved the Published Authors list from the box at the top to its own page on the right, just under the members section.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on September 1, 2011 at 12:02pm

@ Stephen Goldin

 

I also added your book Polly!, which I thought was already listed, but apparently not.

 

Are there any other AN members who are published authors whose books are not listed?

Comment by Johnny P on September 1, 2011 at 1:06pm

thanks Dallas, that's legendary - I pm-ed Calla ages ago but she's obviously non-operational. Could you also add my book on free will?

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…
