"Tree of Knowledge" - what a wonderful idea. I'm going to pass this URL along to others. I'm in Bethany, the NW side of Oklahoma City...

What a great idea! I'm going to put one of these up this christmas in my house.

Would like to begin to share information with you, Margaret Downey.
I am just beginning, the following:
http://www.meetup.com/the-brights-Meetup-Group-Oklahoma-City/
There is a Meetup Group in Norman, Oklahoma of:
http://naturalism.meetup.com/...
I think the point of posting here was to get Atheist|Nexus members involved. The Atheism board is more for talk related to atheism/anti-theism/non-theism, though it could also be posted there as well as your new writers group! :)
I think this is posted in the wrong section of the discussion forum :)
This is for site suggestions - as in the Atheist Nexus site. There's another area for "All Things Atheism" where this might be more appropriate.

Kristy Vensson said… - Thanks Margaret! Despite a cyber-attack on the Convention website this week, sales are going really well - and the extra publicity didn't hurt either! Let us know if you end up in south-east Queensland when you're in Oz - I can probably arrange a speaking engagement for you at Embiggen Books. Their last speaker was Professor Ian Frazer, the scientist who developed the Gardasil vaccine. In any case - if you're in the Brisbane area, let me know and we can catch up. Cheers, Kris

I hadn't thought about going to the FFRF convention. I may possibly go. If so, I'll see you there...

- Hi Margaret! As well as hosting the Aussie/Kiwi group here on Nexus. I'm also the media and communications consultant for the forthcoming "Rise of Atheism" Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne in March 2010. The Convention is being organized jointly by Atheist Alliance International and the Atheist Foundation of Australia.
I know that you have a wide contact network, and we'd be most grateful if you could let your atheist friends and colleagues 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.
I hope we might see you at the Convention also!

Coming from the UK, it's astounding to me that you have the Commandments stuck outside your courthouse there! Keep up the free thinking. Geoff

That's pretty interesting and I'm fairly sure there are some drugs involved with the developements of such theories.
I'm a science fiction fan so when I think of the future I think of mega computers which could allow us to analyze huge amounts of ...
Here is the link again. Not sure why links don't seem to go up on A/N. I have had this happen more than once.

Hmm, I think it would feel awesome and liberating to sunbathe nude. Never really had a place to do that though.
You may live in one of those rare places that aren't hospitable to most wildlife, the sort of a place where only a human being (and their four-legged hangers-on, like rats and coyotes) would, or could, willingly reside.
In any case, once a cat ha...

I stood up last night at a Central Forum. AA New York only holds 4 of these each year in the U.S., and this weekend it was in my home town. I stood up and identified myself as the GSR for the Atheists and Spirituality group, and I know I heard a f...
this is also why I support the liberal idea of preventing crime by helping people slums and impoverished communities rather than making harsher punishments for them.
The prevention of crime is more important then the "revenge" aspect of punishment
Pascal came from a culture steeped in Christianity, its influence, its dominance, and its fear-mongering. Science in his time was hardly in its infancy, and the brand of rational thought we enjoy now was a stark rarity in his time. Anyone in Pasca...
(In =P) my experience, people who know that their bad behavior will go unpunished are more likely to act badly in the future.
ok, but that is rather childish thinking. I don't think that a lot of people here are like that. We are all here pursuin...
Why do we exist?
As far as I can tell, we're here simply as the result of a series of fortunate accidents. Life arose on this planet by natural processes and humans are just one of the myriads of experimental life forms that evolution produced.
His shape or his habits?
To my experience, people who know that their bad behavior will go unpunished are more likely to act badly in the future. We still have the ability to observe the effects of cause and effect and this does effect our behavior.
What you've described...
Rather than asking myselfself "What if there is a God?" I ask myself "What sensible reasons do I have to suspect there might be a God?" The answer, of course, is none.
I find this simple process usefull when analyzing other propositions, like "Wh...
On a positive note, The Cincinnati Atheists Meetup Group has had quite an influx of new members since this happened.
As far as we can tell the universe is a closed system. There are numerous theories on parallel or multiverses but they are far too speculative at this point. It is difficult to comprehend that something so vast be closed. I can not identify a loca...
