I'd never read it before and I thought it was telling to read some MMOH stuff from 1971. Sure, it had a certain "best of" quality, but I really liked the way it came out.<br /> <br /> I DO think it a bit low-brow for you to criticize the magazine for which you used to work, without saying you used to work there. It kinda skews the issue, don't you think? I always try to take the high road.<br /> <br /> In the future, please bear in mind that I have no problem with posting suggested topics. I usually do, and would appreciate it if you would email me proposed threads so I can post them and we can stay on topic. Gil, (I deleted your duplicate post)

Can you comment or see that it gets some exposure?<br /> <br /> The "latest" issue of American Atheist Magazine is a joke, being a reprint of a 1971 publication. Is this the new leader's (and leaders')way of demonstrating the forward moving direction the organization is taking, now that they have removed Ellen?

The “latest” issue of American Atheist Magazine is a joke, being a reprint of a 1971 publication. Is this the new leader’s (and leaders’)way of demonstrating the forward moving direction the organization is taking, now that they have removed Ellen? Is this the output of two months’ worth of innovative and inspired creativity?

As for Gil’s comments – I can understand your point of view, but I am sure that Frank Zindler is probably a little overwhelmed doing two jobs that he has no intention of continuing indefinitely.

My family and I have really enjoyed seeing this bit of Atheist history. It’s an issue I intend to save.
