Welcome to our Website

Terry McDonald Whether you're a believer trying to see what these crazy atheists are all about, or a non-believer looking for like minded people, relax…take your time…look around. We're a friendly, accommodating group that likes to help people find what they're looking for.

We're also very sociable so if you really want to get a three dimensional look at who atheists are, please join us at one of our meetings. Our Wednesday evening get-togethers are like a gathering of friends getting together after work for a burger and a beer. I know walking into a bunch of strangers can be daunting but you'll find us very informal, friendly and very welcoming to folks who just want to visit, as well as those who may want to consider becoming a part of the group.

If you don't find what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact us. Email me at terry@metroplexatheists.org. Thank you for visiting us, we hope you enjoy your stay.

Terry McDonald
Director

Local atheist group is looking for a church

Local atheist group is looking for a church

Metroplex Atheists is calling on a local church to publicly demonstrate what Christians often refer to as “the power of prayer.”

“We’d like a church to come forth and commit to praying for three months that one of our members will become a Christian during that time,” said Randy Word, president of Metroplex Atheists.

Prominent local atheist and former Metroplex Atheists president Terry McDonald has volunteered to be the test subject for the demonstration.

Metroplex Atheists and the church will agree on a specific start date and end date for the prayers. Once the outcome is determined, Metroplex Atheists and the selected church will make public statements regarding the results.

“The church will also be welcome to enlist the prayers of other churches and all Christians everywhere if they wish,” McDonald said. “And if they’d prefer to have six months or a year, that’s fine, too, as long as they commit up front to a specific time frame.”

McDonald is a former Catholic who was once active in the church. He abandoned religion and became an atheist in his 30s. He served as president of Metroplex Atheists from 2006 to 2011 and is still an active member.

Churches interested in participating in the prayer demonstration are asked to contact Metroplex Atheists at director@metroplexatheists.org, or through the online contact form at www.metroplexatheists.org.

Prayer in the Christian bible

Matthew 21:22 says: “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Mark 11:24 says: “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
