There is something in our mind that equates being christian (or any other ian) with being good, or being included. It's just the nature of the world we were born in to. I understand, or at least can relate to, what you are saying suzanne. It gets ea…
My team IS your team. Gotta love my Bolts!
BUT....
LT is a Jet now. My boy Mark Sanchez will only get better...Too many reasons to love New York this year.
No problem.
Thanks for the heads up Grundgetta.
Nate, there was a big discussion about this about a week ago: "Teacher Fired because of Atheist Nexus".
I came across this article today:

I wonder what you all think about it.
I think you should go. This is exactly what you will be faced with during your life and you would do well knowing and understanding the arguments of faith-based systems.
Use this as a way to cut your teeth. Spend your time there learning the argume…
Hello Nate. I was really moved by your talk in Topeka today and impressed with your thoughtful answers to questions at the end - many thanks for taking the time to do this.
Hi Nate Phelps! The best of luck for this event! Is your family planning to visit you at all?
Best of Luck, will there be a video recording on YouTube for us international folks?

Speaking at CFI Calgary at University of Calgary - ICT102
March 14, 2010 from 2pm to 3:30pm
I will be speaking at the University of Calgary on March 14th as a guest of Centre for Inquiry - Calgary.
Wow...I only understand about 10% of what I've read on this thread. It's simultaneously fascinating and frustrating as hell.
I suppose my problem is that I've never read any philosophy books.
Any suggestions where a novice might begin his journey?
A place for existential discussion and exploration...

We've even heard about you down here in Australia. It must have been really difficult for you to break free. You are a brave guy and I admire you greatly.
Best wishes from downunder.

Hurry and write a book. It was also good to hear you on Iron Chariots.

Now we just wait to see if it'll be the Pats or the Jets that my beloved Chargers have to send home next week.

Andrea Crain said… - Loved your episode of Chariots of Iron and am super excited for your book. Very interesting! I've been fascinated by your story for years, since I first read Jon Bell's "Addicted to Hate" manuscript on the internet. Can't wait for your book!

Angie Jackson said… - Excellent. Why don't you private message me with your email address and schedule, and I'll send something around to everyone so we can nail something down that works. Also, if you have ideas about the best way to record/host this kind of thing, I'd love to hear them.
I'm going to put out something on my blog so my readers can submit questions for us. Once we set up a time, I'll announce it there and you can let your peeps know too :)

- Hi Nate. I've been talking with two other cult-leader kid survivors. If you'd be interested in participating, I wanna get a round-table discussion conference call or live chat between us, that we can each host on our own blogs after or whatever. Maybe answer some common questions about cults in general, and tell aspects of our individual stories. It took me so long to find any of you, I think it would be really great if the other kids of cult leaders (or just fundy kids) can find our stories a bit easier.
Let me know if you're interested :)

Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…

It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)

Yes! Mississippi was the one next to Alabama that I couldn't think of. I knew I was missing another big, southern fundy state somewhere!
It's weird, but I never had the typical reaction to atheists when I was a believer. Oh sure, they were headed for hell, but I didn't presume to know or understand the reasons *why* they didn't believe. I didn't auto-dismiss them or hate their existe…
