Shucks. I don't think anyone even wondered about that. Too bad.

Shit called a rose wouldn't smell very sweet, would it? Is there a point to this?
Quote:Language is a funny thing, having more to do with connotation than denotation but connotation can be changed, over time, by society.
A very subtle difference there. Nonetheless, they both hold the same affect.
Quote:Atheism is not anti-theism, it is without theism.
Dude, you're talking to atheists. We know. That is completely irrelevant. No one cares if you are anti-theist. What they do wonder is why you or whoever came up with this party has taken "atheist" to mean "secular."
Quote:The National Atheist PArty tries to represent the members by developing stances on platform issues as voted on by our members. Some may say that atheism has nothing to do with politics but religion should have even less to do with it.
I disagree. Religion at least has a reason to be involved in politics. Atheism has no such thing.
Quote:As many can see religion has been finding ways to insinuate itself into our government, this is an action to protect us against that.
There are better ways. Certainly taking a position on religion in any party is counterintuitive to your goals.
Quote:As a single issue party cannot survive we also rallying behind issues that are important to our members, and many others.
Oh, goody. A bunch of political bullshit that I am not going to be associated with because of you guys. 'Preciate it.
Quote:Also I still do not understand how I got banned for sock puppetry. I participated in other discussions, I was not rude, I didnt post only NAP stuff and always backed up my posts with politely cited sources.
If you create an alternate account here, you will also be banned. This is your account. There are many like it, but this is your own.
Okay?
