I volenteered on the Friday night of the Sarnia BAHA Conference in 2022 then had an health issue that maid me miss the rest of the Conference. So I missed all 3 of the 3hr of the 3 people in this interviews pressentations. This interview is stoking my fires for the /23 Sarnia BAHA Conference. Glad I have my titcket now!
Thank you Gretta. I believe churches should teach more about love and support and less about a god. I was a Christian for years, after much study and reading I am now an atheist.
I'm reminded that the word 'God' is said to come from the name of the Watcher angel who thought himself greater than The LORD (look up WatchAlan (Alan Horvath, I think) and his "Satan's name is God"-video(s))
Has FFRF ever delved into the cosmology or linguistic framing distinctions between multiple implications of "atheist" that are rarely articulated well, versus non-theist? A-theos is sort of a paradox or hypocrisy in many cases, as strict Atheists who define an alleged xtian deity to then viciously reject may be that, but Buddhists who treat deities as irrelevant or optional depending on lineage often are atheists by irrelevancy. Non-theist tends to be better at articulating that concept, just as for others who may use theistic symbolic terms, without intent to imply belief in the equivalents of amulets or entities. That Strict Atheist stipulation and rejection in effect is more like xtian heresy than non-theism, as it cannot exist without in effect citing a belief in an existence of what's then rejected.
Definition of Non: Absence of, not, other than, reverse of. Definition of A (as in Atheist or Amoral etc): Not or without. I really don't see the difference.
I could persuade others that paintings paint themselves and buildings evolved without a builder. Could be interesting could be fun, but really, what’s the salary for that kinda gig? Probably not enough.
You can become a Humanist Chaplain and Humanist Celebrant through the American Humanist Association. There is also the Universal Life Church and many others that require no belief in a deity.
Thank you for sharing with us.
💓💗💖 Wonderful interview! I enjoyed this very much.

Would love to know what reading and study led you away from faith

"an atheist minister, no that's not an oxymoron" Wtf are you on, of course its an oxymoron. Its a direct contradiction in concepts.

Sounds like the start of something big.

Could be interesting could be fun, but really, what’s the salary for that kinda gig? Probably not enough.
I could persuade others that I know who or what created things when I do not actually know how they got there.
@@guitarmetaldemon you’re probably more qualified for the gig
👍🇸🇪🍀
How do I become an atheist Minister, heck sign me up.
Well, one way would be to do it like this minister did.
You can become a Humanist Chaplain and Humanist Celebrant through the American Humanist Association. There is also the Universal Life Church and many others that require no belief in a deity.
Universal Life Church. Free ordination. Atheist agnostic wiccan Hindi Catholic Jewish anything

dan is married to annie
What a human being. Wow.
What a fascinating and thoughtful woman!
Interesting…
"religious freedom " is an oxymoron because it is freedom to choose a form of mental slavery.
Atheist Minister? Seems like an oxymoron, folks.
In that case, I strongly suggest you watch the show and hear her story. I'll become clear when you her her tell it.
Kind of like love and christianity. That is definitely an oxymoron.
It is an oxymoron. Why attach yourself or belong to a church?
Not really, atheist need encouragement. It is encouraging to hear someone to whom you can agree with. Especially since she is right. Okay, I am bias.
