About Me
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.

Thanks. Ruth is correct (as usual). As godlike as we may be, we don't know unless we are told.

Please, REAL atheists, NEVER use the dirty word Christmas, because 25 dec. has NOTHING to do with "christ"/the jewish tricky(Mat.27:63) and "god" for stupides, because his birthday Is UNKNOWED !!! The decembre's days for celebrate are ONLY 21(the Solstitum) and 31(the New Year). And, also, don't foulmouthed yours mouthes with the expressions: shit!, Jesus!, Oh, my god!, because this is a sign of non-civilisation, of a dirty society. "USA is beautifull from outside, and dirty from inside", as muslims sayes. Brothers atheists, makes a normal society, with beautiful words.

I was told you are the person who is responsible for this website, is that true?  If it is I was wondering if you advertise the site, like, a billboard that says walk on reason, not water.  What do you think?

I feel it is not good for us to criticize those who talk of God, because they are brainwashed.  Those brainwashed people cannot be brought back to normal status.   Instead we in the atheist movement should change the tactics not attacking them and silently taking our view to world forum.   We should rename our movement to truereligionists/truthmovement.  Our aim should be promote the idea of understanding nature and living with it as long nature permits with whole ecology not just humans.   We should seriously putting across our views instead of fighting these insane religious people who think they are intelligent.

Hi,
Just an idea I have for fundraising but I'm not sure how big or small it could get.
I use a virtual Visa credit card for online purchases from Ireland. It is called a 3v voucher (www.3v.ie) I'm sure there are similar systems around the world.
Now here's the thing; there is very little available on line below say €5. However to get back or transfer such a sum to another voucher will cost n€2,50 while any other transaction will be free. If not used within (in my case 90 days, the funds are lost to the 3v company.
Could I suggest you ask any members who use such vouchers to transfer any unused funds to athiest nexus?

Regards,
Jack Butler

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 6 Comments

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.



As being somewhat… Continue

When should nontheists complain?

Posted on November 3, 2009 at 4:30pm 9 Comments

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?
