The National Atheist Party is canceling its secular convention due to a lack of funding. Troy Boyle, the partyâs president, announced on its website wonât be holding NAPCON 2012 in Boston in October because it would bankrupt the group. âAfter this yearâs amazing Reason Rally, and flush with our successful recruiting and a spike in donations, we decided to hold our OWN secular event. NAPCON 2012 was supposed to be our biggest and best public event; our chance to show the U.S. that we could fund and organize a large, noteworthy and impressive âSecular Summitâ that would attract media buzz and even more interested members and donations. The reality is that we canât,â Boyle said in the press release. âThe donations simply arenât there and if we went ahead with the event as planned, it would bankrupt us.â http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/201...ty-cancels-convention-due-to-lack-of-funding/
I respect that statement and I would listen to what they guy had to say. no b.s. - it did not make economic sense. That is the type of leadership this country has been missing.
Seriously? The party of the atheist displaying leadership? I just think it is funny they can't get organized enough to be - well - atheists. It's like a hobby.
