Pete Stark is religious, church meetings, conventions and all. Add to that his beliefs, faith in them and his brotherhood.

Last year’s convention was in Australia and was disrupted by Muslim protesters. It’s on YouTube. Thank goodness somebody was standing up for reason and God!

I looked at the agenda – 4 days!

The Exhibits must be interesting. Maybe some Madlyn Murray Ohare bobbleheads!

They have a “Dinner with the Stars,” a “Birthday & Costume Dinner,” an Art Show, a Comedy Show and a “Godless Bitches Podcast.”

They also have a scholarship awards dinner. I’m imagining somebody being awarded a scholarship and using the money to attend Notre Dame!

Are they going to sell tickets?

This should be funnier than Saturday Night Live.

From the American Atheists web site “about”

“Materialism declares that the cosmos is devoid of immanent conscious purpose; that it is governed by its own inherent, immutable, and impersonal laws; that there is no supernatural interference in human life; that humankind”

Seems rather strident.
I’ve got no problem with Atheists, but I always thought it was more like people who exercise and people who don’t.

If you don’t like to exercise, go ahead. No need to gather to tell each other or anyone else you don’t like to exercise, just don’t do it.

Yes, I know, they need to fend off the actions of organized religious forces, but I still think a convention is a bit weird.

BTW, am I the only one who thinks their organizational symbol looks like they are promoting nuclear power in 1962? I think it used to be called the
Atomic Atheists Association.
