Hi, I recently moved to Tampa from Atlanta and am interested.

I would love to get a formal group in the area, but I can't drive too far, my car is falling apart :(. I'm in the Northern Tampa area, if there's a group somewhere up there I would definitely join.

They think we are taking pot shots at them? A wise Secular Humanist once said that the majority always feels threatened when the minority asserts itself. I don't take pot shots at the religious people in my life. I'm a nice guy. My atheism…

I'd really like to get a formal group together down here. If any members are interested please let me know. I am going to start advertising to the public but would like to know if we have anyone in here from say, Ft Myers to Bradenton, maybe even a little further out?

Angie,
you are making a difference. Just calmly state your point of view on these things and back them up if she asks. You may be her first exposure to outside influences. Make it a habit to be open minded to everything she says, and politely ask…

OK no mouth foaming here. In fact, I even conceded to David that even today there is a big chunk of the population that does use "experts" in this manner. (Oprah anyone?)
And you are also right about commercials. Logical fallacies are…

Definition of an EXPERT:
X (ex) is the unknown number.
Spurt (pert) is a drip under pressure.
