TWISTED SISTER Guitarist To Speak At 'American Atheists National Convention' - Sep. 19, 2012
According to Atheists.org, TWISTED SISTER guitarist Jay Jay French has been confirmed as one of the speakers at the 2013 American Atheists National Convention, set to take place March 28-31, 2013 in Austin, Texas.

The 50th-anniversary 2013 convention will host up to 1,500 atheists at the Hyatt Regency in Austin. Madalyn Murray O'Hair founded the organization in Austin 50 years ago.

David Silverman, president of American Atheists, stated, "We are thrilled to have Jay Jay French join us for our convention. Not only is Jay Jay a renowned guitarist, but he is providing leadership as an atheist in the music industry and as a role model."

I'm really glad 2012 is the year the members of TS are choosing to expose themselves with the no-no's amongst acquaintances, religion and politics.

Raging Long Island liberal atheists want me to spend money so I can buy a record or support their tour? No more thanks, there's no way I'm gonna take it.

Nice, with the money you save, you can buy a nice children's book of made-up fairy tales to read to your kids.

Oh wait, you already own a bible.

Grow up. Everyone has different opinions. I hate Dave Mustaine's politics, but I would still download one of his albums if he ever made another good one.

Don't be such a pussy.

Who needs the headache of exposing yourself to different views anyways? Isn't it annoying?

Awesome. Thanks for reporting this. Why, just earlier today I was thinking to myself "I wonder if there is a God, if only someone like a member of Twisted Sister would steer me in the right direction".

If he talked about another religion that seems to be making headlines lately he would have to go into hiding for the rest of his life or end up dead. Glad to see it business as usual bashing Christianity but not any other religion we have to be tolerant of due to political correctness.

Why do atheists needs a convention? What are they going to do, sit around and talk about believing in nothing?

Yeah, kinda ridiculous, isn't it? Almost as ridiculous as going into a big old, cold building praying to some imaginary man in the sky.

Now, if he wore the satanic garb and makeup of Nordic DM bands it would be more believable than the trannie uniform he had in TS.

Homeless shelters. Soup kitchens. AA meetings. Clothing drives. Elderly care. Meals on Wheels. Free health care. Disaster relief. Just a few of the things provided by religious institutions. Yeah – I know there’s a down side as well. But don’t fail to acknowledge the many good things that are done in the name of religion just because there are also some bad ones.

Since he's an atheist, why did Twisted Sister record the Christmas song "Oh Come all Ye Faithful"? He's a hypocrite who will do anything for a buck.

So atheism isn't a religion huh? WHy do they need a gathering?
I'm not religious, but I' don't consider myself an atheist, and I don;'t have to get on my high horse and pretend to be superior and denigrate those who do believe. I respect most religious people, except for followers on a certain prolific religion of course, but I have no respect for atheists who have to get in everyone's face and try to remove other people's beliefs from the public square.

Most people use their religion as an excuse to be a total douchebag. You manage to do it without religion. Congrats!

Any step in that direction is cool with me. It needs to be removed from politics as well, that would be great. Too bad it's what the mega rich use to control their idiot followers so that'll never happen.

Poor atheists. As a modern westerner, I feel that it's essential to have the governance of an ancient middle-eastern sky man in my life.

The fact that secular institutions also practice philanthropy does not diminish the philanthropy that is performed by religious institutions. The fact that wicked people commit evil acts under the guise of religion does not change the fact that good people perform benevolent acts under the name of religion. Very little in this world is either all good or all bad, and there is a good side to religion despite the fact that there is also a bad.

So atheists have meetings? Do they have a book they all refer to (Dawson )?

Sounds like a religion to mr!

SOUNDS MORE LIKE A GATHERING THAN A CONVENTION.
