A Letter from Our Organizer
I had so much fun last night. It was a complete success. I’m still excited, and know that we MUST do this again. I got at least 20 comments from people who said the event was excellent, very good, illuminating, etc! At one point after most people had left, a small group of elderly ladies stood in the theatre watching the slide show and talking.” Where did you get those...

​Wow...It was a smash success.
Full house and lots of spontaneous laughter and applause! So many people said they enjoyed the videos we made, that the energy was great and that we were funny. I did not expect compliments. It really was a lot of fun! Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry

Not Always Right | Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes...
(A young woman, about 20 years old, comes up to the counter holding a copy of The Bible.)
Me: “Hi, did you find everything you needed today?”
Customer: “Yeah, hey, can you tell me what this is about?”
Me: “The Bible?”
Customer: “Yeah, what’s it about?”
Me: “The Bible has two parts, the Old Testament which is scriptures and the New Testament, which contains the story of Jesus’ life and works as told through the gospels, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.”
Customer: “Huh. Is it any good?”
Me: “It’s pretty popular.”
Customer: “Nah, I’ll just get this one instead.” *puts a copy of Twilight on the counter*

There Simply is No Reason to Believe in Gods -... →
We are all born atheists. As we grow, however, we are inundated by society with the mythology surrounding gods. Some gods, we are told, are just that—myth only. Others, for some reason, we are told are real. Any examination into these gods will show not only that there are no real differences between the “fake” and “real” gods, but that there is simply no reason to believe...

Our "Skeptic" Film fest
The advertising finally went up outside the theatre. It says “Skeptic Film fest”. Considering the owner told us he wouldn’t be able to advertise at all, I guess that’s the best he’s willing to do, assuming he doesn’t want the word “atheist” on his sign.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A famous atheist’s deadly cancer doesn’t appear to have shaken his unbelief. Christopher Hitchens tells The Atlantic magazine that he knows he’s dying, but still views all religion as manmade and all of its claims to divine revelation as false. In a conversation with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg posted on the magazine’s Web site, Hitchens says he...

When We All Fall Apart: The Lonely Atheist →
As an atheist, I feel terribly misunderstood. I feel the need to find palatable terms like “secular humanist,” “freethinker,” “skeptic,” or “agnostic” to make my thoughts “acceptable” to my friends, family, and elders. And although I have friends who are as equally atheist as myself, I still feel…
