"Very good, thanks for posting this. I would probably just tell them that it's the fool who quotes from an ancient book, written by ancient goat herders who thought the earth was flat, as if it really carries real validity."

Roy replied to Tony Carroll's discussion After Work Rant in the group Hang With Friends
"I would love the chance to have someone like that around to have a conversation with. I might just tell him that even he doesn't believe what he says he does. "Hey Preacher." "If you are badly hurt in an accident…"
Roy replied to Tony Carroll's discussion After Work Rant in the group Hang With Friends
"I sure do agree with everything everyone has said here. You might also point out to that preacher that your friend was brought in to your place of work and not his church for a reason. It's quite obvious that everyone has more faith…"
Roy replied to Tony Carroll's discussion After Work Rant in the group Hang With Friends
"Gosh that's awful. But don't do anything that will jeopardize your job. Don't put anything in writing. Just find some way of telling him that as a friend, you were there to actually do something for the man. It was…"

"Really, it sounds to me like you are well on your way. I don't think you are going to have too many problems. My main worry is losing my old friends. I haven't lost any yet, but then I only of the closet door slightly…"

"Gosh Mark, I feel your pain. I was about 32 when I quit believing and went through some withdrawals at the time. I'm 66 now and still haven't come out to my family. My father was a preacher. Maybe when Mom moves on…"
Roy replied to Jerica O'Hagan's discussion Question: Common Sense and Biblical Updates? in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"How many Christian Denominations are there?
For your pleasure, take a look at the above article from Wikipedia. Their estimate is 41,000. And why should there be so many denominations? I think it's obvious. Every…"

"If anyone asks me if I've talked to god lately, I say "no but I did have a little chat with the Easter Bunny yesterday".
Really, if you hear anyone say they are talking to god, be very very careful with them. They are…"
Roy commented on Dr. Terence Meaden's group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"Also, from what I've observed in my lifetime, god is only created in the minds of the believers. Everyone creates their own and they are all different. Basically, we are all godless, but some people just don't believe…"
Roy commented on Dr. Terence Meaden's group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"The book Man Made God that I have is by Barbara Walker. It's very good in my opinion. A lot of it pertains to women's issues. I highly recommend it.

Sentient Biped said… Welcome to Atheist Nexus!
Nexus has many ways for members to be involved, make friends, learn, and express yourself. The welcome center is composed of Nexus volunteers, sort of like greeters at your favorite store.
Get to know people with similar interests by searching on Groups. Use the search box on the Groups page, or browse through the many pages of groups, to see what's there. There are Nexus groups for various states, cities, countries, ideas of personal expression, hobbies, and many other groups. Get to know people based on what you enjoy, or what you have in common with others.
Ongoing forum discussions are of more general interest than the groups. Switch toforum categories for a somewhat organized format.
To find local groups and make friends or chat, Meetup.com is a great place to locate groups or start one. (note, Meetup is not connected to AN). Join Meetup and search on a key word, such as atheist, atheism, skeptics, freethought, to see if there is a local group.Support nexus by going to Amazon.com through the site (see the amazon box on the right). Buying from Amazon via the Nexus site does not increase your cost, but results in a small fee going to Nexus.
Terms of service helps you know the "rules". You can also find the TOS on the bottom right of the main screen.
The right sidebar shows recent posting activities and discussions by Nexus members. Click on "more" at the bottom for additional activities by members.
If you have general questions about how Nexus works, how to find what you want, or other questions, feel free to ask me or another volunteer member of the Welcome center!
Enjoy.
