    Church Meetup

    "I think you miss the point. The point was never to confront believers on their turf, nor to study the religion. The point was to study the shepherd and the flock, in their natural environment."

    Church Meetup

    "Yes, they are angry, hateful people. Yes, they would deny us the right to reach out and expand our community. We still have to live with them. Further study may be necessary...."

    Church Meetup

    "Definitely a challenge. I already went to church twice last year, once for a funeral and once because my mother was visiting. That's enough for the next decade or two. It's an interesting idea though...."

    What's with the Marine birthday and ball event?

    "I'm glad to read these opinions. I've tried to join other atheist groups. I found them to be very partisan, anti-American and anti- military. I haven't and won't go to another of their meetings."

    A zombie, a vampire, and Jesus walk into a bar...

    "It's clever but inaccurate. Frankenstein's monster was never resurrected from the dead. It was an entirely new life, constructed from the dead body parts of several people. I don't recall the townspeople revering Frankenstein's monster...."

    Assistant organizers wanted!

    "I'm an astronomer with access to Tierra del Sol Observatory. I take my students there a few times a year. The down side is that I can only get week nights, not weekends...."

    Plane Crash Miracle

    "The bizarre thing is that the families of the other 152 will all find some way to call their deaths a blessing. God has a plan and all that. Even when the worst things happen, they give thanks."
