Hello!

[Tank]

Glad to be here and glad you find the National Atheist Party interesting. I definitly suggest you check it out. Not trying to advertise the party too much. I just found it a good match for myself, and I hope to let others know about it.  I have been met with a lot of controversy on atheist forums when I mention the party. I am glad that you were more receptive than other forums. Its nice to be in a place where I can discuss with other atheists. ALl my friends are atheists but very adamant in their veiws and I always like to get other  opinions.

I'd like to read more about that when you have a moment.

Well I have plenty of moments today
i've been signing up for atheist forums to become better connected with the atheist community and to spread awareness about National Atheist Party, which takes some explaining. A lot of atheists seem really opposed to a political organization, whereas I see a great need for it. I've been shot down and told I'm uneducated and confused. It was kind of offensive but I can't expect everyone to welcome me with open arms.
I am in charge of the PR and Marketting committee for the Party and am open to criticisms and advice on every level. Here are some articles that have recently been published on our site if you want to check it out

Welcome Mary! Glad to have you

Hey guys. We don't accept other people coming in and advertising their websites, books, groups, etc. unless they've gotten past the ten post limit.

Sorry, but I'm disabling the links until that happens here too. My concern is still that m.condon is simply here to advertise to as many atheist sites as possible.

Sorry, m.condon, but the rules apply to all new members.

You are more than welcome here, of course, but please get to know the forum a bit more and we'll get to know you as well.

I was just replying to someone's comment. Not here just to push my organization but it is something I am involved with and would like to share news articles from it.  I see it as a good resource, that I pull from often. I understand your position and hope you will allow me to contribute in the future.

I understand that you had to reply to the other person's comment. No problem there at all. Just making it clear that the same rules we apply to other new members here also apply equally to atheists. We don't allow for posts outside of certain areas until you reach the ten post minimum (which you've done now!). We also don't allow "advertising" posts until we've gotten a better feel for you. That's all it was about.

You, of course, are free to contribute to the forum, and we welcome your input and contributions.

I really do try to keep away from pushing my beliefs or anything on other people. I hate to come off that way and since typing is a bit limiting I can see how I could come off as advertising. I will let you know I get most of my news articles from the NAP so I will cite them as a source and reference when its related. I have been met with some ridicule from other sites for my affiliate with the NAP and I hope that will not happen here. I try to be an active productive member and hope to make some friends here
