1) On AASA 2002 webpage on grove, I noted the page for essays there, and I wanted to solicit any writings pertinent to atheism/agnosticism/freethought from our members to post here. I can't seem to get many (read: any) of you to submit posts to this site as contributors, so perhaps if you've already written something that would be of interest to the group you'd consider submitting it to me. I can either convert it to an .htm and link to it (as below), or I can enter it as a blog post here for you.
Any essay you wrote for a class dealing with issues of ethics or religion would likely be worth showcasing. I will wait until we have accumulated a couple of them to make a post -- "Member Essays" -- where I will list them and link to them, but in the interim, check out these old ones to inspire you to add yours to the collection.
- Morality and Religion (by Colin Lee)
- A Short Essay On The Problem of Evil (by Andy Chiocca)
2) I noted the forums page on the old HASA site. Does anyone think this is an idea worth pursuing, or do the Facebook discussion boards provide us with this function already? I was thinking the latter, but I'm willing to upload a php bboard if people want it and think we'll use it more than the Facebook discussion board.
3) I found a partial transcript of a Dan Barker - Richard Howe debate that was held on-campus by the UF HASA group in 1997. I would love to get Dan back, or someone else, to do another debate such as this for our campus-wide events this fall. Our last event was Eddie Tabash giving a lecture, and we hope to have a debate next time. Anyway, my idea/question was whether anyone wanted to type up a transcript from the Tabash-Friel debate, the Tabash lecture, or from Prof. Witmer's interview on Unchained Radio (.mp3 source file). Basically I'm just putting this out there and letting you know that doing any of these would be fantastic, and we'd put them up here on the site.
