The End

Posted by Rob Jones "Brand New Atheist" on December 26th, 2009

I plan on making some big changes in 2010 and this website is not part of it. I’ve enjoyed using this site to get things off my chest, hash out some ideas, start controversy, this site has served it’s purpose and will be abandoned for the foreseeable future.

I’ll leave the site up but I don’t plan on tweeting from my BNA account or posting anymore articles. I’ve even gone to the trouble to delete some BNA accounts and disable others. Thanks to all my Twitter followers and anyone who took the time to have a conversation with me. If I get any comments to this article I may respond in 2009 but not 2010.

While this journey was educational it was also stressful and not always enjoyable. We only get this one life and I want to spend as little of it as possible on things that don’t bring happiness to me and my family.

Wish me luck and I’ll see you in the next life (that was a joke) :)

One Year Later

Posted by Rob Jones "Brand New Atheist" on October 1st, 2008

Approximately one year ago today (October 1st 2007) I became and atheist. Every now and then I educate myself or I get educated. For instance, about a month ago (August 26th 2008) I became a vegetarian. And about a month ago (September 2nd 2008) I became a democrat.

A lot has changed for me since I became an atheist but my overall life has changed very little. I haven’t been disowned by anyone nor have I had to defend myself physically. I started writing down my thoughts the day I became an atheist and that eventually became BrandNewAtheist.com. Then I created my Twitter account to post small thoughts and sarcastic comments. I have a small following on Twitter which means a few people are occasionally interested in what I say.

What has changed the most for me is the way I think. Once I removed anything supernatural most of the ways I think about things changed in an instant. It has made me so much happier than I ever was before. It’s like being released from a mental prison and knowing they can never put you away again.

I thank all of you who have befriended be on Twitter and commented on my site.

Obama, Impressive

I’ve done more research on the candidates this year than I ever have. This one video of Obama seriously makes me think he’s the man this country needs. He doesn’t plan to change the Constitution to meet his own personal religious beliefs like Huckabee plans to do.
