Atheist Forums Xmas Party!
December 8, 2010 at 8:52 pm
We are nearing Christmas, so in order to celebrate the symbolic birth of some guy our saviour, we are going to throw the traditional Xmas webcam party in the chatroom.
As we are a global community, we shall be partying for several hours, on the evening (UK time) of Friday 17th December. I'll announce more details on the day, but a few of us will keep the thing going, and you can turn up when you want to.
Also, I'll be releasing the nomination form for this year's "Member Awards" in a few days!
-Adrian

Sounds shwanky. I'll try to be there.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

It doesn't. For that part we'll use the tinychat.com room we have. I'll post more details on the day, but there will be someone (probably me) in the IRC room to redirect people.
