About Me
I am a former fundamentalist minister who has seen the light of science and reason. I find inspiration in music, art, literature and our awe inspiring universe. I believe the next step in humanity's evolution is breaking the shackles of religious superstition.

I am secularly ordained and have dedicated myself to encouraging and inspiring others to "come out" of the religious closet.

Brother Richard, I believe it would be good for A/N to wider horizens and let fundies and other religionists join the discussions and debates. How else are we going to win this important war for hearts and minds?

Religious nonsense is very vulnerable to the truth.

Hi Brother Richard,
I hate to clutter your wall with a technical concern, but I'm having a lot of difficulty with the Atheist Nexus web page. Whenever I navigate around the page, my browser ... slows ... way ... down--the sluggishness remains even after I close out of the Atheist Nexus page. I was wondering whether others have expressed such concerns and whether you have any suggestions.
Thanks, Randy
