Everyday Freethought commented on Eric Husby's group Atheists for Nuclear Power
"Hello. I started listening to old episodes of "The Atomic Show" with Rod Adams, and I like it. I think nuclear power is something we should be pursuing as a society. I am on episode 53 or so, from 2007. "

Stop Saying The G-Word

I have noticed that a lot of atheists and skeptics will still say “Oh my god” or “Jesus” when they are surprised by something.I always tell people, “Don’t use the g-word”, or “Don’t use the j-word.”People will defend the practice by saying that it is due to habit. Some excuse it, saying that it is just part of the culture.For those who say it is habit, I say: Say strong, my naturalistic brothers and sisters. Change your habits to reflect your rational outlook.For those who say it is okay…See More

I was in Texas recently for a few days. It was my fifth trip to Texas. I went in May 2010 to Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio. I went in August 2011 to Dallas and Austin. I went in September 2011 to Dallas. I went in April 2012 to Austin, and lastly August 2012 to Austin. Every time I go it feels like a magic land of opportunity.

So why a picture of Oregon for this post? I am looking for a job, and I have been speaking with a firm in Portland. The technology they are using…

Hi, and a friendly welcome to Everyday Freethought
Glad to have you on board with us.

Welcome to this great Nexus meeting place and its thousands of bright people like you who recognise religion for the superstition and brainwashing fraud that it is---
and that gods exist only as fictions inside people's heads.

Terry Meaden
originator of the busy discussion group
"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its over 240 discussion topics.

We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
