I'm a former military linguist (Arabic, of course), currently living in Southern Oregon. I've been through Protestant Xianity to pagan religions, to Catholocism, through Buddhism and finally to atheist.
I'm an amateur photographer, and some of my photos are below. I also enjoy rock climbing, running, hiking, camping, reading and writing.
I'm currently learning to play bass guitar, and working on my less-than-stellar drawing skills.

We're trying to resurrect the Medford meetup idea. Check out your thread my friend! I haven't lived here very long and the other guy has only been here for 7 years and not socialized with other Atheists, poor guy! I think it may do us all some good over this very trying holiday season. Yeah I just found out my in-laws, while having my son for one day a week, are making him pray and teaching him Christians songs. I've been pretty respectful of their religion thus far, maybe it's time for that to come to an end...I dunno.
I digress...we hope to have some input from you soon!
Hi Mathew! I'm Kris - I host 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 wonder if you could let your members 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.
"Free-thinker" was a popular term in the 19th century amongst atheists and I see no reason why it shouldn't be re-activated. It captures the Enlightenment ideals of thinking and investigation without fear or prejudice. For the British amongst us Cha…
I think this ignores one simple and demonstrable fact: Beginning with the 17th century enlightenment, there has been a gradual movement away from religious faith. An increase in knowledge about nature has offered a competing theory about life's orig…
The other day I was talking to an old friend and she was telling me "you know Diaddy when rapture comes, dont you want your kids to go to heaven?' My son (who is 9) came out of the room and told her "woman dont you know I dont believe in god? dont w…
I was having lunch today with a bunch of my coworkers, and the topic drifted into the subject of religion (I promise, I didn't do it). The group consisted of three agnostics (including myself), a Catholic, a liberal Christian, and my boss, who is a…
This group will do more than just pick apart biblical errors and contradictions. Let's closely examine the Bible and Qur'an. Nothing is sacred; every prophecy, proverb, and parable deserves examination and critique.
Hi everyone,I grew up in a Christian home, and for 30 years I was quite dedicated to it. A couple of years ago, I think it was in 2004 or 2005, I lost all faith in the religion. So here I am. Atheist since 5 years, and I can see any reason why ever…
This sounds like many doable ideas and I don't mean to be a killjoy but.....the local atheist group I belonged to for several yrs managed to get tax exempt status so donations could be deductable and that took them almost a yr. Gov't agencied weren'…
