[jalover23]

I was being sarcastic, I really am happy that there are some independent thinkers here.

[jalover23]

Yeah, there are athesis in Tx. Thank God! :)

[Louislane20042000]

I'm not from Texas, I'm from Tenn though, and I'm glad to see people from the south proving that we all don't have our heads in the clouds.

[peejaymcniel]

damnit...I wish that I'd have A. Known about this and B. had gone atheist 4 months ago...oh well, next year I suppose...

KosherPigz - Who are you typing to?

[kewl2005]

Thanks for the vid. =)

[aajoeyjo]

This is interesting. terrec's angry at "militant Atheists" but admits that our violent tactics are only in the future, not in our present or past.

We don't want you to hide your religion at home. Just don't try to use the government to force it on us anymore please. Not you personally, just millions of Christians in the US of A and beyond. Your cohorts.

We get on our own all the time too. Sometimes we're hyper-critical of ourselves, which is probably why we're non-violent.

[nephil1977]

Oh, you mean as dangerous as Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition, or perhaps as dangerous as fundamentalist Islam. You're an idiot. Marxist Communism is a philosophy based on a false assumptions about human nature. It teaches that people are happier when they share everything. It is a BELIEF system, and a form of thought control JUST LIKE RELIGION! The fact that it happens to be atheist is coincidental. It like saying that everyone with moustaches are evil because Hitler had one.

[aajoeyjo]

KosherPigz - Wait a minute now, you're against Scientology, but you're also against Atheism? What kind of God allows both of those ideologies AND Communism, and why would you worship it? You have a unique fixer-upper for a god. Plus you need to read the Old Testament. lol

We live and we await you backing up your wild claims by producing this phantom god. Meanwhile we also move on. I hope you will too, eventually.

[Stock444]

I just moved to TX. and I'm realy trying to find a group like this.

[jrdroffats]

[jscience]

Can do =)

[StacyJayT]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. The music is so loud, though, that I have to really try to hear what you are saying.

[aajoeyjo]

StacyJayT Thanks for the heads up. I really need to get a better editing program with sound controls, because Windows Movie Maker doesn't come with that, oddly enough. I hope you can come to the convention!

[StacyJayT]

Huge difference now. I heard it all.

Thanks! We plan to come.

[aajoeyjo]

Awesome! We have added a musical act, so now we'll have three musical acts at this event. The Aspiring Atheist is from California, and has added us to his musical tour of America. That's myspace dot come slash aspiring atheist. Woo Hoo!

[AlderDragon]

Good luck!

[DoyleWolfgang]

Joe, what is the date for this event?

[aajoeyjo]

DoyleWolfgang, We're looking at October of 2008, and we probably won't be able to do a Saturday. It'll have to be a Sunday if we want it in October, due to football season causing everything to be booked up solid for several months. So probably a Sunday in October.

[DoyleWolfgang]

Thanks, let us know when you have an exact date for us. I will have to make some serious planning seeing that it is a 13 hour drive. Thanks again.

[CrucieFiction]

Bill Maher's movie, "Religulous", is due for release on October 3rd. It promises to be hilarious! Arranging a viewing during the convention might be something to consider.

[aajoeyjo]

We've nailed down a date! Whew, that was tough! Sunday, October 26, 2008 from noon till 10pm. A website specifically about it is about to be ready. Meatless dishes, face-painting, live music and my speech are all a go!

[DoyleWolfgang]

Good to see. I will certainly make plans. Thanks.

[jwoodswce]

J, Thanks for including Objectivists in the text crawl.

[AliciaCCTX]
