I know this page hasn’t been active lately, but I just wanted to pass along for those folks who know Amy from the group that she’ll be appearing on this fundraiser tonight at 10:00 for the Foundation Beyond Belief. Great cause to donate to if you’ve got a little extra cash.

I’ve been making some FSM Christmas ornaments. If anyone is interested in anything on this shop, let me know instead of ordering online. It’s pointless to pay shipping when I’m right in Brainerd. I also do custom work if you have ideas you want made. Thanks!

Deck the halls in style with this classy FSM tree topper! Only slightly smaller than the original, but still big enough to command attention at the top of your tree! Handmade with heathen love from shatterproof ornaments, mesh tubing, and googly eyes. Double sided, and measures

Hey everyone -

This is Amy Hansmann. I’m going to be on the Atheists Talk radio show tomorrow morning at 9:00am. If anyone wants to listen live, you can do so on the AM950 website. They also release all of their shows in podcast form. Thanks!

Join interviewers every Sunday morning from 9 – 10 am as they give atheists a voice on the radio. Produced by Minnesota Atheists, interviewers will cover topics on atheism, humanism, state/church separation, religion, ethics, science, art, and many other issues.

HIBBING, Minn. — While opinions differ, the one common thread among those reacting to the removal of the Ten Commandments plaque from St. Louis County courthouse in Hibbing is that all are offended — offended that the bronze plaque of "God's Laws" had hung there or that it was removed ...

Hey! This Amy, your former fearless leader. I’ve started a podcast and the first episode was just released. We’re still working on getting it on to iTunes and the other podcast apps (technology is not working out for us at the moment), but you can hear it by clicking on the link in the post below. And if podcasts aren’t your thing, at least think about “liking” our page. It makes us look more popular!

Thanks!

Welcome to Secular Soup! On our inaugural episode, Amy and Ami talk mental illness, and the struggles involved with both having it, and raising kids with it. Then we complain about the struggles of getting old, like having all of your limbs go numb because you decided to sit down. We also prove that...

Come to Prairie Bay in Baxter this Sunday at 11:00! We'll meet in the "porch" room - the one with all the books hanging from the ceiling. Bring a favorite freethinker/atheist/agnostic/etc. resource (book, article, movie, whatever) and share why it's a favorite.

Just wanted to give everyone an update on where this group is going.

After many years, I've come to the conclusion that I just can't keep up with organizing the group anymore, and I've handed the keys to the kingdom over to Heidi and Jon. They will be the primary organizers from here on out. I'll still turn up at meetings and be around, but with a reduced stress level. 😉

The best place to interact with the group is still on Meetup. That's where we will post all of the meetings dates. You can get there by clicking on the "sign up" button at the top of this page. Thanks everyone!
