PLEASE FAVORITE THIS VIDEO! PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS GREAT EVENT! Here's the de-baptism that took place at the 2008 Texas Freethought Convention, on Sunday, October 26, 2008 in Austin, Texas.
For best results, click on "watch in high quality" just under the video box. Sorry about the occasional audio problems.
In 2009, the convention will be held in San Antonio.
Here's a report/pics page about the event created by one of the speakers, Dr. Zachary Moore of the North Texas Church of Freethought: http://www.churchoffreethought.org/me...
A big thank you to Michael Clarkson for wielding the de-baptismal Hair-Dryer of Reason, and thanks also to Joe Broome for videotaping so much.
The Wall Street Journal just did an article about Atheists advertising with billboards, and Joe Zamecki is quoted in that article: http://tinyurl.com/5kc7wv

Even though you zapped him, I wanted to point out that his idea that it is a mistake that Darwin coined the term "Survival of the fittest." This was made up by Herbert Spencer, who was a proponent of "Social Darwinism," which is a departure from what Darwin meant by his theory.
Yeah sorry to interrupt your debate with him, but I got rules! :o)
It's amazing to me how many Christians are simply instructed on which bits of slander they should utter in regards to Darwin, a man who not only can't defend himself, but already DID!
I've never read or heard anything that Hitler said that addressed slow biological change in plants and animals, and I never heard any kind of hate-speech from Darwin.
I did however read and hear a lot from Hitler about his pet god.
JustThink00 - B.S. Darwin didn't say we should get rid of millions of humans. He mainly commented on how plants and animals change. That's a far cry from any Nazi philosophy!
To ignore Hitler's staunch religiosity is to avoid the obvious. Sure Atheists have committed crimes, but religion brings a whole soap opera full of reasons to abuse people.
We Atheists don't have a playbook that instructs us to oppress people. There's really no comparison!
The challenge isn't to demonstrate the narrow margins of difference in good behavior, but to demonstrate the wide margins of bad behavior. Among the most brutal inhumanity ever committed by people against other people have been done in the name of religion. Would an atheist come up with an inquisition? A crusade? A suicide bomb attack?
"Name an altruistic action a religious person would not do" was not my challenge. I would guess that any altruistic action a religious person would do, a non-religious person would be just as likely to do.
As for "lumping beliefs together," one need not even press on beyond the fact all of them are almost definitely incorrect. I don't care about fantasy that makes people credit themselves with being more moral. I prefer reality.
-- steal is because it's against the rules, and you fear punishment, THEN YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON, you just follow rules and fear punishment.
Who is the better child? The one who behaves because she knows that her actions affect the happiness and well being of others, or the one who is afraid of getting a spanking and knows that she's going to get some ice cream later if she behaves?

Maybe I could take syrup of ipecac to Undo Communion?
