buddhism =/= atheism however much vangelis wants to align the two.
I have no problem with atheists as buddhists, but vangelis constantly points to teachings of his belief over and over and most atheists are just tired of that. It's…
e-Vangelis-T, you sure have your panties in a knot ;)
The AFA is an atheist group, get over it. If you don't like it, don't join. as simple as that. But standing there trying to sling mud at something that you were banned after telling…
@Chrys there is nothing to apologise for? there is no spin and it wasn't an oversight; it was a considered decision based on all relevant factors. The significant majority of people attending on Saturday are NOT going to the Dinner and we…
Or just hang around and go up in your own time, drinks and canapes goes on for a while, and whether you are standing to one side or the other of registration there's not much difference. Just migrate when you feel like it.
Felch, unfortunately not as on registration you enter, thus we are also restricted a lot to formats of the MCEC that do this stuff all the time.
18 lines and the fact that many tables are booked together will not take long at all.
Felch, It's not 2500 it's 1500 (excludes sunday only tickets) and it's only about 1200 orders. We have 18 registration lines organised plus an enquiries desk.
Hope that helps.
No wukkas, I know everyones hanging out, it's been a big juggling match with coordinating everyone pretty much up to now, I'll repost when the program goes up here, later tonight!
The program is actually being finalised atm and should be out hopefully later tonight.
The running sheet for organising is unbelievably huge, there is a massive amount that had to be tied down with everything from speakers to music timing to how the…
thanks A|N and everyone for their support during this!
There are a couple of things that have to be sorted with the server over tonight, and we should see the glitches in the matrix with the server atm disappear tomorrow. Onwards to the Convention!…
Looks like the one she did. Sickening. It's no better than the Bob Jones "university" here. I refer to them as "US christian level" programs. What on earth happened to academic levels since I left in 1999? They must have plummeted under Howard in a big way.
My alma mater (MU) has gone "American". My old program is now a PhD. But they won't be reissuing my degree with than name anytime soon.
Small world. I am having an ongoing "discussion" with a Fundie friend in Wang at the moment. I shut up for years until there were one too many Christian virals from her. She used to be sane. Very sad. A few years ago she got a "Masters" degree in Christian counseling, but the standard of the work she has done is considerably lower than the old Counseling Diplomas which I did a subject from some of some years ago. (I have a "real" Masters degree.) Do you have any idea where she could get such a prestigiously named degree in Australia with so little training in actual thinking?
Hi Davo. Nice to see another Aussie here. I was born in Melbourne but live in San Francisco these days. No bushfires, just mudslides and earthquakes :-)
Hi again! I've given Jesus - All About Lies a plug on the Aussie group's main page. That's what we're here for, to publicize and promote any atheist activity in Oz.
I notice you've joined the Freedom of Religion submission group. We're just finishing up the submission now and, in the next couple of days, will have all the entire thing up for comment before it is despatched. You will receive a message via Atheist Nexus with the link.
