About me: I am proud to be an affiliate of the original Rational Response Squad started by a team of well known atheist activists who are tired of the role irrational beliefs have in our society. Like the folks who originally started this team of rational responders, I believe that we should live in a world where people need proof for the claims we are told we should believe.
We're looking forward to uniting folks on a local level who want to engage in activism and get together from time to time.
DISCLAIMER: The person/people hosting this myspace page are affiliated with the original Rational Response Squad, however we are not the original. While my views are very similar to those held by the founders of this unique organization, at times they can be different. Please keep this in mind when corresponding with me, and send a letter to the original RRS via their contact form should you choose to engage them directly.

TUNE IN FRIDAY NIGHTS AT 9PM EST HERE:
Who I'd like to meet: I want to unite with other people who aren't afraid to speak up about the dangers of religious belief. I want to meet people that understand it's good to respect other people, and sometimes the only way to do this is to show them why you disrespect the ridiculous and irrational things they believe.

Calling all Rational Responders of Texas! If you get a chance, come on down to Houston to see the "Lucy" Exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science...
Please read my blog "Sounds Like A Party" ... it's an argument in which I make the following points:
- God* as we know it doesn't exist. - Atheists don't exist either. - Evolution is impossible.
The arguments I use are my own thoughts from a conversation I had a few days ago. I'm sure SOMEBODY has already thought of them, but I would like to know what kind of counter-points are out there.
