BLASPHE-ME EVENT, DE-BAPTISMS SLATED FOR ATHEIST CONVENTION AACON XXXV * April 9-12, 2009 * Atlanta, GA.
BLASPHEMY, HOLY WAFERS & DIP, OH MY!
THE UPCOMING 35th National Convention of American Atheists will feature special activities, including a "Blaspheme-Me" event and a De-Baptisms.
The Blasphe-Me is part of a series of protests to a recent non-binding United Nations Resolution that seeks to punish any open criticism of religion, specifically Islam. The measure, to be debated at an international conference later this month, threatens freedom of expression and would effectively insulate despotic, theocratic faith-based regimes from social criticism and political protest. Dave Silverman, Communications Director for American Atheists will host this event. Dave is covering this story on his blog, so visit http://atheists.org/blog/i

The Convention will also include a De-Batpism Ceremony for those wishing to symbolically (and humorously!) shed any lingering residue of organized religion. This fun event, hosted by Frank Zindler and Edwin Kagin will include robes, gowns, a hair drier, sac red wafers and dip. Stay tuned!
