I could write you a big advertisement about the Atheist
Network, but instead, I'll let the people there tell you what THEY think
of it....
" I like the fact that any idea can become the springboard for discussions
that challenge assumptions all around. I like the fact that you can challenge
anyone on anything, and that anything one says can be challenged as well. I
like the fact that one day you can be in a throw-down drag-out argument with
someone one day and then be on the same side of an argument the very next day.

" I like how nothing, and I mean nothing, is taboo here. No matter what
topic you bring up, nobody will ever think any less of you for it. I've never
seen anything comparable anywhere else. And, this place is a nice outlet for
me. Sometimes, when things in real life are too much to handle, it's nice to
participate in a discussion with people who both can't hurt you and wouldn't
if they could." .... Logican 1229 posts.
" I love how I can come here and talk with people that think similar to
me, its so hard find people like me here in Georgia. I love the free exchange
of thoughts and ideas and how here I am free (for the most part) from the constant
harassment's of the theists." ..... Xbox Atheist 1382 posts.
" I remember shortly before I joined, someone made a comment and it started
a long debate on a touchy subject. I had considered the subject before but have
never heard anyone else's thoughts on it. Most people would have had an immediate
reaction of disgust and drop it. Even a few AN members couldn't take it and
left. (although I think one returned after reconsidering the arguments.) The
point is this, the people here will discuss any idea without accepting or rejecting
it a priori. Everything is scrutinized and judged based on it's own qualities.
Also, I like BBSs rather than chat rooms. It fits with schedules better, anyone
can read the past posts and be as up to date as everyone else, and there is
time to think and research between post and reply." ..... Cthulhu's Quill

" The most corny, cliché and overused reasons of all time... Coming
here makes me realize I'm not alone, I'm not so strange, I fit in here. I grew
up and still live here in the bible belt of Midwest United States. Being an
atheist in the bible belt can make one feel pretty isolated. This is my happy
place to come when my surroundings seem unbearable. This is the only place that
I can consistently enjoy conversations with people who seem sane to me. It is
refreshing and reassuring.

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it, you'd have good people
doing good things and bad people doing bad things, but for good people to do
bad things, it takes religion...s a great source for cool stuff found around the internet,
and a place to have interesting discussions. And you get a muffin! " ....Mutant

" For years I went back and forth believing in xianity, never ready to
accept who I really was. Talking to people here made me realize it is ok. It
comforted me to know that atheists are real people, that there is a place where
questioning religion isn't forbidden. In due course I have not only accepted
myself with everyone's help, but gained a better understanding of why I am an
atheist. When confronting myself with reasons of doubt I can honestly answer
them without hesitation. And when others confront me, criticize me or try to
convert me, I can give logical arguments without the worry of burning in hell.
This place and the people in it give me continual support and courage to face
the world as an atheist. I appreciate it. I am a happier person because of all
of you. " ...... mmccaskill 663 posts
You can read ALL of the reasons the Atheist Network has
meant so much to so many people here.
As you can tell, the Atheist Network is not your ordinary run of the
mill atheist forum. It's much more then that. It's a place of refuge, of honesty,
of respect when earned, and a dedication to cut through the bullshit. It's not
a bashing board, and it's not brainiac board. It's a community.
We are currently revamping our audio feed and are looking for new content
to play. We are putting the call out to all atheists who are in bands, are poets,
have songs of their own, have been in live recorded debates, like to create
audio plays, or would like to create a show of their own.
The Atheist Network has been around for more then 7 years. Originally
created by Jake ( www.afterfaith.com
) and The Infidel guy ( www.infidelguy.com
) it has a large, tight knit, thriving atheist community, that never plays soft,
and never apologizes for it. The Atheist Network was created with the idea that
only through HONEST exchange of ideas and information, can we all break free
of theistic influences. It's not a bashing board, and it's not a brainiac board,
it's a community of atheists as diverse as you can find. We welcome all atheists
to come and join the fun.
If you have some content that you would like to share with the world,
please contact us at radio@atheistnetwork.com . If you would like to join an
atheist community where honesty is key, then join us at www.atheistnetwork.com.
It's Halloween, the moon is full and bright. Minions see what can't be seen, on any other night. Skeletons in the closets of Christian ghouls, grinning fundamentalists and freethinkers fighting duels. The ghost of the dark ages is rising from its tomb, bringing relics from the past, intelligence it wants to consume. In white shirts and mountain bikes, Mormons haunt the street. They knock on doors, to trick is their treat. Others claim to be sent by Jehovah, entering unhallowed grounds is their mistake. They run away screaming, dropping their copies of Watchtower and Awake! Many feel threatened that we only need science, logic and reason to appease us. They can't accept our denial of the existence of their Jesus. So on my night, we should show them that they're absurd. Since they believe in ghosts and goblins, make your voice heard. Dress up like a demon, and put on your most evil behavior. Knock on their door, and tell them that you're their savior.

" I regard Christianity as the most fatal seductive lie that has yet existed, as the great unholy lie: I draw out the after-growth and sprouting of its ideal from beneath every form of disguise, I reject every compromise position with respect to it—I force a war against it." (Friedrich Nietzsche)
