- I am a former fundamentalist minister who has seen the light of science and reason. I find inspiration in music, art, literature and our awe inspiring universe. I believe the next step in humanity's evolution is breaking the shackles of religious superstition.
I am secularly ordained and have dedicated myself to encouraging and inspiring others to "come out" of the religious closet.

Darrell Kidwell said… Hello! Yes, we should get together. Let me know whenever you happen by Dallas/Ft Worth. Are you planning to go to the American Athiests Convention in Austin at the end of the month?

Loren Miller said… Heads up, Richard - we have a pretty determined spammer on here - "browin"
http://www.atheistnexus.org/profile/browin?xg_source=activity
and his/her/its activity is all over the place, mostly on his status message and one or more blog posts. Could we please give this dip the boot?

Philip Copeman said… I have been a member of Atheist Nexus for about 2 years - great site. Thankyou for your efforts.
i) I am intersted in extending Atheism into other media channels in South Africa. We have real structural probelms here with Bishops councils etc. I would like to use Atheist Nexus as reference point :- Philip Copeman, spokesperson for Atheist Nexus said "Blah Blah". If you google me or look though my posts you will see I have straight froward mainstream Atheist views (albeit more evangelistic than most), with clearly defined tolerance for secularism, see www.philipcopeman.net . Do you have a formal mechanism of allowing spokespersons?
ii) Have you used the Ning extensions? I have a great communtiy in www.turbocash.net - 110 000 SME accounting users. Huge penetration in the Church market. I am interested in apps that mix accounting and social media. Any ideas? See also www.turbocash.ning.com
iii) I run similar sized communties to Nexus. I have used Joomla in the past but I am finding it increasing cumbersome. I want to swing my investment to Ning, but I am worried about how it stands up on volumes. You have 88000 how do you think it would be if I had 500 000 thousand members - see www.azania1.com

El Solo Lobo said… "think tank"...really? I can do that. What are we thinking about? Richard, what is your opinion of the National Atheist Party?

Hi, Richard.
Saw your tweet regarding an Atheist Nexus think tank and am interested in participating. I pride myself on being a pragmatic thinker (which is a fair portion of what finally got me with atheism), and I think I could bring that and my experience to the table.
Give a shout either way, and thanks for hearing me out.

We are wasting our time if we can't help these gay teens.

Often when I reflect upon my day, I am amazed how much of my time is wasted going through hate mail. No, I'm not talking about those "my god loves you and enjoy the fires of Hell" letters I get from those wacky and kooky theists. I'm speaking of the emails I get from other atheists. Yeah, I actually get more from our team.
The last four emails I have received could be boiled down to this:
"There is no such thing as a new atheist!"

Weekly Rant: Frank Schaeffer and New Atheist Fundamentalists
Posted on November 5, 2009 at 12:27pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
As far as the religious go, you could say that Frank Schaeffer is one of the good guys. He is the son of one of the first televangelists, Francis Schaeffer, and in his book, Crazy for God, he did a great job explaining how he helped found the Religious Right, and why he now regretted it.

When should nontheists complain?
Posted on November 3, 2009 at 4:30pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
It is no secret that we nontheists are continually bombarded with religious references. Most of the time, we simply smile and ignore them, knowing that our fellow primates mean us no harm. And when we do complain, no matter how polite and courteous we may be, it is always taken the wrong way. So, when should we speak up?
