Hey Guardian Atheist, welcome Smile Good for you for getting out there in the community.

I think the guys you mention are awesome too, and have done a lot of good in educating people. I think that the bulk of the challenge is about education, both about what atheism is (or rather isn't), in critical thinking and in how science is so important.

I want every child knowing about at least 20 logical fallacies by the age of 2 dammit! Big Grin Or else I eat them.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.

Hey Zack! Welcome.

If you're into historical art (or even if you aren't really), I recommend a movie that Penn made called Tim's Vermeer. Nothing to do with atheism, but it's interesting.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Welcome Zack!

Where's Zack? We'll sail without him!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

My name is Zack, I'm 26 years old.  I am a United States Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq war.  A former police officer in the state of Cali and I currently work as a Private Investigator.  I have a wife and 1 year old daughter.  I am an outspoken Atheist who is currently trying to become more involved in the Atheist community.  I've started a blog to allow myself to vent, rant, and spread the good Truth about science.  If your interested in reading it you can visit <snip>
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and I am looking forward to many stimulating discussions and debates.  My idols include Dr. Sam Harris and Dr. Richard Dawkins.  Penn Jillette is also another person I have just recently discovered to be a positive influence in my life.  
Who would you consider is a positive stimulus in your life and making a difference in the world today?!

Positive stimulus in my life making a difference in the world?

My wife.

She's a teacher. She makes a real difference in the world. Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins are in the world selling books and Penn and Teller make funny magic tricks in Las Vegas. Those morons make 0 difference in the world.

Thank you for your service.
