I (Jesus--in the flesh!) met with Margaret and other committee members today to tour the site for next year's conference; The RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. As we strolled around the ship, we beheld the enormous 40's era ballrooms where the entertainment and sessions will surely take place. Yea, we were impressed. The QM is not just classy, it is also a ship where one could anticipate a lot of in-room celebrations where the wine flows. Trust Me, you'll need to sleep for three days after this conference is over.

Thought you'd be interested in this report of the first-ever meeting of Atheist service-members in Iraq under the umbrella of the MAAF-Iraq chapter of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers. This meeting was put together by the same young MAAF member who recently had his second letter published in the Stars and Stripes.

Vandals egg house of local atheist
By AtheistDiscrimi... - Posted on October 4th, 2007
The home of a local outspoken atheist was vandalized overnight Friday, police said -- with eggs tossed at the house and cars, and crosses and religious words scrawled in chalk on the driveway.
A church bulletin also was stuck on the front door.
The incident comes days after Rob Sherman's daughter, Dawn, led a successful effort to have the song "God Bless America" yanked from Buffalo Grove High School's homecoming celebration. Dawn Sherman is a freshman on the student council.

Notable Quotes
"I am very often embarrassed to admit that our already small atheist community is fragmented and divided. As secular groups evolve, competition for members is very high. There is nothing inherently wrong with competition, and competition, in fact, has resulted in terrific publications, wonderful outreach projects, and creative business endeavors. We can't, however, afford to let competition interfere with our mission."
