Nathan Phelps commented on Nate's group 'Sam Harris'
Sorry Stephen, as soon as you start with the broad brush strokes, you've lost the argument in my opinion. It seems to me that Harris makes it clear in End of Faith that his criticism about religion is all encompassing. Your argument that he…

Nathan Phelps replied to suzanne Buzz's discussion 'Does a part of you still feel the need to be accepted by christians even though you don't believe in the bible?' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
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…

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…

I recently moved to Canada to be with a woman I met. I was married for 19 years and raised 4 children. I worked in the printing industry for 28 years and now I drive a taxi in a small town in southeast British Columbia while working on a book about my family. I am the estranged son of the infamous Fred Phelps. After years of searching, studying and questioning, I have released myself from the mythology of religion.

Nate, you have given me a lot of incouragement. Thank you. There are probably a lot of people that are in similar circumstances! I'd like to be in contact with the Life After Christian Fundamentalism group very much. Whatever we can do do help support one another in this crucial struggle is a good thing. Thanks again, Nate!

I relate to your childhood on so many levels.  Thank goodness for your work in helping free others from religious abuse.

I stumbled upon the speech you gave in Georgia today. It broke my heart thinking about your brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews still held in that place. Thank you for sharing your story.

I heard your interview with the Irreligiosophy podcast a few months ago and really was glad to hear your story. Thanks!

Dear Nathan. Reading your backstory on your site was very revealing. I knew that the WBC was evil, but wow, it's kinda scary when I think about it.

Hey Nathan

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.
