October Service

Our next regular monthly service will be on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010.   We are pleased to be hosting at our next service guest speaker Mr. Johnny Tan, motivational speaker and author.  Mr. Tan, after emigrating to the US from Malaysia and working in the restaurant industry for 18 years, came to understand the paramount importance of unconditional love.  Using the analogy of physiical sustenance through cooking and drawing on the "mothering" he received from 9 women in his life, Mr. Tan wrote a book summarizing his message, "From My Mama's Kitchen: Food for the Soul, Recipes for Living." Mr. Tan will speak at our October 3rd service and sign copies of his book for sale.  (See also www.frommymamaskitchen.com )So come enjoy fellowship and hear an inspiring message at our next monthly celebration of religious doubt.  And bring the kids too because we'll show them a good time as well!  The service starts at 10:30 AM at the DFW Wyndham Airport North.  Come a bit earlier for coffee and conversation and plan to join us afterwards for lunch too!

Welcome to the North Texas Church of Freethought!

The North Texas Church of Freethought is a Fellowship of Unbelievers.  We do what all the other churches do, but with one less god.  Our aim is to offer atheists, agnostics, humanists, and freethinkers all the educational, inspirational, and social and emotional benefits of traditional faith-based churches.  We do this by preaching Freethought, a rational approach to religious questions of life, love, meaning, and happiness.  Our growing community of freethinkers provides a positive, affirming environment for leading a good life, free of the illogic and intolerance of other religions based on holy books and supernaturalism.

Our regular service takes place on the first Sunday of every month at the Wyndham DFW Airport North. Plan to arrive at 10:00 AM for coffee and fellowship, followed by our service from 10:30 AM until 12:00 PM. We encourage parents to bring their children to participate in our freethinking "Sunday School," where they will learn about the wonders of the real world and how to live life sensibly and well. We encourage you also to join us afterwards at The Golden Corral at the Grapevine Mills mall where most of eat and chat for up to several hours. If you've missed our service for the month, catch up by downloading our latest bulletin, subscribe to our email newsletter, subscribe to our podcast or listen to it on iTunes. You can also now find us on Meetup.com!

If you have questions about the NTCOF, they've probably been answered at our FAQ. If not, please drop us a line by email or voicemail. We hope to see you soon!

15 Years of NTCOF Print

The North Texas Church of Freethought Celebrates Fifteen Years of Preaching The Good News of Rationalism in Religion!!On February 5th of 1995, the NTCOF held its first regular monthly service, and has not stopped since.  No one knew, in the beginning, if this pioneering experiment would work.  There were plenty of people who said it was a bad idea and would be a flop.  Yet here we are!  And now we have people write us and say that they had had this idea themselves.  In Houston, fellow Freethinkers established the HCOF ten years ago.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY to them too!

A lot has happened these last 15 years.  15 years is enough time for people to meet and start families, for children to grow up, and, yes, for some of us to grow old and die.  We've had all of those things happen over the years.  It has a been a wonderful journey full of the usual ups and downs that are typical of our lives.  But change is continual and change is inevitable.  Through the wonders of modern technology, wo of the NTCOF's founders, Mike and Marilyn Sullivan, who retired and moved to Florida in 2008, joined us at our February 2010 service.  They aptly pointed out what an achievement it is for this pioneering experiment to have been as successful as it has been.  And THIS MONTH - March 2010 - the HOUSTON Church of Freethought is celebrating its TENTH anniversay with its March 14th service!  If you're anywhere near Houston, check them out!  Dr. Gorski will be speaking at the HCOF's 10th Anniversary Celebration service.

Congratulations to NTCOF Outreach Director Susette Geissler, as well as to everyone who has participated in our charitable outreaches throughout 2009! We've baked cookies, promoted safer sex practices, supported battered women and their children, donated gallons of blood, and brought a smile to the faces of secular soldiers who are serving our country abroad.

And not only that, we've been recognized for our efforts by a columnist at Squidoo.com, who lists out some of the top "atheist charities," and WE'RE LISTED AT #3!!!!

If you'd like to build on this fantastic success and continue to help Susette and the other Outreach volunteers in 2010, please don't miss the organizational meeting THIS SATURDAY. Please RSVP at Meetup.com here.

NTCOF Supports Foxhole Atheists Print
Wednesday, 02 December 2009 14:47

Last year, the NTCOF donated to the North Alabama Freethought Association's "Operation Foxhole Atheists" to supply secular members of the military with items of particular needs and interests. This year, that program has been shut down, so under the direction of  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  Susette Geissler, we've found our own secular soldiers to support this solstice season. According to one Army officer, our efforts are very much appreciated:

To the North Texas Church of Freethought- 
 
My jaw dropped when I saw the stack of care packages from you!  A thousand thanks to your group of fanatically antifanatical champions of freethought, the big and bright ever-twinkling stars of Texas who have gifted me with loot aplenty!
 
Great stuff all around.  I never expected to recieve Monty Python, Bill Maher, and Weird Al in the same box.  I'm surprised that it did not all form some sort of singularity of irreverance into which the collective superstitions of humanity would disappear as the discarded toilet paper of millenia of ignorant exploitation.

I was running low on Spam, and I appreciate whoever replenished my stocks. As room-temperature meats go, so goes the war. Ask anyone who has ever dined upon the Meal Ready to Eat. When dining on absurdities, man must have variety or perish.  All hail the meat of mystery!  All hail the delicacy of the desperate!  All hail SPAM!

And I especially appreciate whoever included "On Killing."  A man must reflect, and that reflection often turns ugly.  He who would seek answers for the troubles of his mind cannot trust the military's systems for mental illness (as well-intentioned in design as they are malicious in execution) unless he wants his every thought reported back to the command. Books must be the silent man's chaplain.

The books, the magazines the cards, the dice, the tea, the broth, the sweets... all will lighten the load and pass the time.

This 25th of December, when the powers that be in Manas will break out the projector and screen for some sappy holiday fare, I believe I will stage a repeat of my Halloween antics. "Religulous" shall make an unexpected appearance to a rather captive audience, who will find the projection booth mysteriously locked.

Take care, and please accept my thanks to your group for the outpouring of swag!  Please remember that I execute foriegn policy and have nothing to do with defense of freedoms: that is and has always been the responsibility of a well-informed, politically active, and socially responsible public.  Vote smart.
