I stay undercover b/c I worry about loosing my job. I work with a bunch of fundamentalist. Nothing like getting into a truck at work after someone else has the radio set to one of the Christian radio stations. I admit I listen for a laugh every now…
But Cincy isn't very free-thought friendly. =/ There is however the Free Inquiry Group (FIG) and the meetup.com group down there. They're pretty cool. :)
I am a computer science student at Case Western Reserve University. When I'm at school, I act as "education director" for the Campus Freethought Alliance at Case, but I am living undercover in Cincinnati for a while.
I listen to a lot of atheism-related podcasts. I particularly enjoy The Non-Prophets, The Atheist Experience, and the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe.
I play various instruments and like to get mentally involved in the music that I listen to. My taste is wide, with some exceptions.

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'…
