About Me
President of FLorida Atheists and Secular Humanists
South Florida Regional Director for American Atheists.

I'm a professional Firefighter/Paramedic and have worked for the same Dept. for 21 years. Before then, I was a Volunteer Firefighter/EMT with a 3 year gap for the military as a Field Medic.
I would say I was never really a theist, I attended churches and bible studies trying to fit in. I couldn't force myself to accept it. I realized I was atheist about age 20, before then "I just didn't believe it".
About 5 years ago, I joined a meet-up and met 4 others. In 2 years there where 100 signed up and 6-10 people would meet most weeks. Today, we have 300+, 4 locations with events throughout the week. sponsor public education events, beach picnics, winter campfires and so on.

Thanks so much Ken! I did talk to the camp director briefly a few months ago regarding their food service but I haven't heard anything in a while. Maybe I should contact them again.....

Ken,
Congradulations on your accomplishments. I still have a copy of your original E mail to me with the intention of follow-up. Contact me in October when I return from Wyoming and let's talk then.

George... unfortunately nine of his videos are interesting. At least shawn tried to make an argument, not very good ones, but he did try to have a point. They are both tools.

I don't think that there's *anyone* who wouldn't think those sorts of things are clearly in the realm of a sexual proposition. The gray area is more like when potentially ordinary conversation goes on but is... kinda "friendly".

Exactly SGecko. I can't believe that we have to even come up with a straight-faced answer to whether or not there could have been a sudden global flood that covered everything. It's like having to give a straight-faced answer to "The moon is made ...

Why do I fight ? I fight for those that hate me. Because they are too weak to fight for themselves. They have the strength to hate, but not to fight. 1 in a 1000 gets over their hate. That is good enough for me.
