If Peter’s post hasn’t highlighted it enough, this country is in dire need of MORE Atheist activists — and activism starts at conventions!If you have the time, try your very best to attend the convention this weekend in Minneapolis. The pre-registration numbers are huge — thanks in part to the news that I, David Silverman, will be introducing Richard Dawkins. Yes, that’s right, Dawkins is coming and best of all, I will be introducing him! Don’t worry — I’m very good at not overshadowing the people I bring on stage.OK but seriously, this is going to be a great place to meet 500+ other Atheists, face to face, and get some great insight on how you can help this country. Please join us!http://www.atheists.org

This is a very sad day indeed…

Yeah, yeah…he was an atheist, but at least he was a visionary…
I was thinking of going, but it’s a little bit too far.
I will definitely go next year if it’s in NY or NJ (or somewhere less than 19 hours away).
But who will be introducing you?
I would go if the location was closer to me or if I had an opportunity to dunk phreedm in a tank

How about an eternal Lake o’ Fire?
RIP Arthur C. Clarke, Space Odyssie 2010 was a sweet book that had a truly enlightening tail of Space Travel to it:
What would Jupiter think??? My answer is that Jupiter has what seems like an eternity to think about how lucky it was that it didn’t gain enough mass to become a small star. Now it can possibly harbor life on its moons if it just keeps on tugging with those strong tidal forces. Um, just don’t go startin’ any fusion ignitions on the Jovians or Jupiter, the fallen star, will be converted into Luciferous the second sun!
