Matthew Dicks replied to stephen eric billinghurst's discussion A kneejerk reaction to suggestions of ESP

"hey, here's a thought. why dont you do some homework before going off on your rant. sure 122501 is a prime number - but big deal. the 1000th prime number is 7919 - so approx 1 in 8 of the first 8000 numbers is prime. odds of 1 in 8 aint that…"

Matthew Dicks replied to Larissa Rivera's discussion Coming out.... to myself

"Hi Larissa, I get a sense of hopelessness in your post, your plea "whats the good of it?" sounds a bit sad and lost (i hope I'm wrong). I was never religious, so dont pretend to know what you are going thru. But can I suggest that…"

Matthew Dicks replied to Jennifer E.'s discussion Losing my Confrontation Virginity

"and now it starts to get really silly... ...what is he talking about?? and there can be nothing more insulting than having a lunatic try to convert you. Nice call on telling him that atheism is NOT a belief - that's one that they never seem…"

Matthew Dicks replied to Jennifer E.'s discussion Losing my Confrontation Virginity

"Jen, I totally get that (being nervous), but it is really important to be schooled-up on your arguments. Paradoxically it is always the atheist who is called on to defend their absence of belief. A theist will always hit you with the old "you…"

Matthew Dicks replied to Jennifer E.'s discussion Losing my Confrontation Virginity

"Jen, Nice work with the loopy christian guy. But as Dawkins posited, (and I paraphrase) "it is not possible to be both educated and sane, and still hold religious beliefs". Methinks your "RG" is neither educated nor sane. I…"

At 7:41am on July 9, 2009, Chrys Stevenson said…: Hey Matthew! There's a group of us from the Sunny Coast champing at the bit to go to that conference - all of us members of AN. I think there's about 9 of us planning to go at this stage. There will be more publicity as the planning progresses. I'll post updates on the Aussie Group page as they're available. There's a place marker for the convention at: http://atheistconvention.org.au/
but no content posted there as yet - but check it from time to time. I think the blurb is going up soon.
Keep in touch - if you go, we'll be sure to catch up for dinner or, at least a drink - or three. ;-)

At 6:33am on July 7, 2009, Chrys Stevenson said…: Hi Matthew! Welcome to Atheist Nexus. I'm Kris from Queensland. I'd like to invite you to join our Aussie Kiwi and South Pacific Atheists group.

Another group you may be interested in is Parenting Little Heathens.. They have over 500 members to give you some advice on those tricky atheist parent dilemmas. ;-)

I hope you enjoy the site!
