The freethinkers of Montgomery, Alabama are looking to grow. There are lots of you out there, I’m sure — get in touch, link up, build!

Jumpin’ Jeezus! It’s beginning to look like there aren’t any free-thinkers in Alabama.
There are a few things to have faith in Richard. One of such is that when the freethinkers achieve focus (amid the distractions of bacon and music and lambasting of the fools… see other thread) they will properly mass like neurons do and ignite some new consciousness.
Sometimes one must be patient though. Enjoy the music while you (Tom) Waits.
Tax Religion. Spread the bacon.

I’m trying to start a martial arts study group and paintball team only for free-thinkers in the East Chicago/Gary area. Click on my name for more info.
Thanks, PZ! I would have never expected to see such a thing here in my hometown, but I’m glad to see it!
WTF? Where have you guys been my whole life?
This is a pic taken yesterday of a church sign in Alabama yesterday.

Good luck free-thinkers!
More importantly, JD, where has your music been my whole life? Damn! Cannot afford. Buying anyway!
Alternatively, if you’re a Mississippi Atheist, I’ve got a group for that, too.
I’m glad to hear groups are looking to grow in Alabama and Mississippi. Pharyngula gets an incredible amount of traffic from all over the world; hopefully readers from your locale will get the word and contact you!
Optimus Primate – I’m guessing you might be a Transformers fan. Here’s a bus ad for atheist Transformers fans by Roger Scruton –
There’s probably no unicorn. So stop worrying, Transform, and roll out.
Thank you so much, PZ!! I’m proud to see that we have gained a few members just from your post!!

Be the ball!
Living only a couple hours from Montgomery, I can say that open atheists there are truthfully in danger not just of losing jobs but of violence, even more so than gays.
Very big thanks for the mention, PZ. We’ve already started getting members from this mention. I helped start this group three months ago, but advertising has been an issue, so any mention we can get is a big help.
There is a meet-up scheduled in Chattanooga this week. Is this going viral?
factsdontmatter – It’s good to see that Tennessee is getting a group going. I don’t live in your neck of the woods or I’d go. We mustn’t be shy. Here’s the link:

Pharyngula just might get you some more people!
While we’re at it, Cincinnati Atheists, Agnostics, Humanists and Freethinkers meet here :

Unfortunately, I can’t attend. I’ve got a final in Biology at 1830hr. (Population Genetics, Origin of Species, etc.)
Patricia (#10), that rocks!
You pegged me: old school Transfan from way back in the day.
Thank you PZ for promoting our group! We have gotten more than a few members from this post.
Also, there are more groups in Alabama and all across the Southeast.

YAY! Great to see that rational people in Alabama actually exist. I live in Tuscaloosa, and I have yet to come by a non-Christian off campus (and even on campus we’re few and far between).
