About Me

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.
We are a group of atheist activists who seek to clear up the misconceptions about atheists that has led to us being the most distrusted minority in America.
We give a voice to reason in an area of the country that is heavily damaged by religion.
We aim to create a social network for atheists in the Bible Belt who are often ostracized and/or feel like they have to closet their lack of belief in god(s).
We work with www.AtheistVolunteers.org and other organizations to do good in our communities in the name of atheism.
We show, by example, that religious belief is not needed to be a good person.
We fight battles in the war of ideas in an effort to rid the world of:
1. Theism
2. Creation Science
3. Pat Robertson
4. Religious terrorism/fundamentalism/born again Christianity
5. Agnosticism as a rational position between theism and atheism.
6. Belief in psychics/paranormal/supernatural claims
7. Belief that America is a Christian Nation
8. Saying evolution is "just a theory, not a set of facts."
9. The claim that science is dogmatic
10. Denial of the Holocaust (claiming it didn't happen)
11. Thinking that logicians use logic to limit peoples thought
12. The claim that the bible is a good source for morality
13. The claim that mystical experiences can give us knowledge.
14. Holistic medicine
15. Giving religious beliefs a special pass above criticism.
16. Thinking this list is complete.
Are you an Atheist or an Agnostic?
