Hey!!

[m.condon]

My name is Mary Condon. I am a full-time college student and a full time member of the National Atheist Party. I am a strong supporter of a secular government. I do not think that religion should play any role in the making of laws or any aspect of government or government funded institutions. I feel that the National Atheist Party is the best way for people to organize and campaign for a secular government. It gives atheists, agnostics and others a political voice. In our current political climate it is especially essential that we speak up. New laws are being passed every day with their only justification being based on religious reasoning. I think it is high time we stand up and ask our current political candidates “What are you doing for atheist voters?”

Hello, Mary.

hi Mary, welcome to the forums.

[m.condon]

Glad to be here. I've been trying to become more active with the online atheist community. I am an active member of the National Atheist Party and part of the PR committee and I would like to become better integrated with the atheist community as a whole. There are not many local outputs for me to meet like minded people.

You could try convincing theist we are not evil like me, I help out the local churches when they need it. So far only my friends church listen's to me and are convinced the holy ghost has me. If im preaching which is probobly what they consider me doing, it's humanity, equality, love and peace. I tell them no matter how well you raise your family, no matter what it is you don't do personally to others. As long as you allow children to be worked to death for a quarter a day for the clothing you wear. As long as you allow war and genocide to be commited by your christian nation. As long as you starve nations to death such as colombia for what a few people do. As long as you use the drugs innocent people die for by the thousands. You're going to hell, because it's within your power to stop it. So go ahead and preach jesus, you still commit acts on satans behalf. Willing or unwilling you still do it knowingly, just because it's not infront of you doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Just make them see why they aren't the devoute christian followers of good they believe they are and some will listen. Not all, but some is better than none.

No offense, but that sounds like exactly the wrong thing to do if you want to create a "secular" government.

Secular =/= Atheist.

[Shell B]

Yeah, just the sound of "National Atheist Party" gives me the willies.

Welcome to AF.

[frankiej]

Yeah, I have to agree Adrianicus and the Shellisaur on this one.

Welcome.

Mary.

I am thinking that "National Atheist Party" is just another knee jerk reactionist group that America really can do with out.
