On Thursday, October 18th, at 8pm in Rinker 110, Gator Freethought and Gator Christian Life host The Academy (click to RSVP on facebook), session 2. Inspired by Plato and friends, The Academy sponsors inter-faith dialogue each semester in the form of a panel discussion among students from different (non)religious groups around campus. This time, we're answering The Big Question: what's life all about, anyway? How does our religion, faith, or lack thereof affect our answer? Is life worth living without God? Is it worth living with God? Woah.And this is only the beginning. Although panelists will begin answering these fundamental questions, they will then respond to your own. Throughout the talk, we'll be collecting questions from the audience to be posed to the panelists by a moderator. The event should last around 90 minutes.
Currently, the following illustrious students make up our panel:
1. BRANDON SMOCK, atheist from Gator Freethought
2. AARON BEATY, from Gator Christian Life
3. LEO STEIN, from UF Hillel
4. KHADER ABU EL-HAIJA, from Islam on Campus
5. MATTHEW BLASI, unaffiliated Buddhist
So come on out Thursday at 8 to Rinker 110 and join the largest and most organized inter-faith dialogue ever attempted on campus! See map in pictures for more details, or use the campus map.
NOTE: Rinker is typically a coooold building. You might want to bring a jacket.
