Sad to hear that security was heavy. The only obvious security at the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne earlier this year was for Taslima Nasrin, again due to Muslim death threats. This was close personal protection for her, and no screening for us. After one day she was comfortable enough to dispense with the body guards.

It was great to see the big names speak and to hear other sides of atheism. I hope these large conventions continue.

Perhaps the metal detectors etc is a US paranoia thing? After three years things might have calmed down a bit too.

So, when can I submit my application for the baby-making? Yes, atheism can be a ‘chick-magnet’. For girls who are atheists.
I love your blog. Keep up the good work.

Religiious people too long fighting against science, too long time killing innocent people, too long time abusing children. Its time to UNITED and fight back.
