- Director of State Operations, American Atheists
Founding member of FLorida Atheists and Secular Humanists FLASH!
I'm a professional Firefighter/Paramedic and have worked for the same Dept. for 24 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.

It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)

well done photo album!
wow, paranormal activity on your bike's plate; ghost DNA strand!?
I wonder if you could let your South Flordia atheists know that tickets for the convention are now available online at the Convention website. We are expecting nearly 3,000 delegates, so this convention is going to be huge.
Confirmed speakers include: Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Peter Singer, Taslima Nasrin and many more.
Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.
