Third Meeting of Fall 2009

Our third meeting will be held Wednesday, October 14th, at 7:30 PM in Anderson Hall, room 101. We will start by showing the short documentary The God Who Wasn't There.

Note: If we are expecting a large enough crowd, we may be forced to move to a larger room to view the movie.  If that happens, it will be very clearly noted on this page and through the facebook group.  Unless noted otherwise, this meeting will be held in Anderson Hall, room 101.

This film explores the question of Jesus' existence, and includes interviews with Richard Dawkins, Robert Price, and Sam Harris, as well as the founders of urban legend website snopes.com

The trailer is hosted below, and more information can be found at www.thegodmovie.com.



Afterward, we will host a discussion on some of the key points made in the movie, including not only the potential existence of Jesus Christ, but the public perception of the issue today, and how that effects all of our lives.

Second Meeting of Fall 2009

Our second meeting will be held Thursday, October 1st, at 7:30 PM in Anderson Hall, room 101. The topic is What does it mean to be a Freethinker?.

Come prepared with your opinion on why you consider yourself a freethinker! We'd like to hear your voice on why you want to be in this kind of organization, and why this kind of forum needs to exist. Things to consider before coming:

Why does an institution such as the University of Florida need a group like ours?
Why/how did you come to consider yourself a freethinker?
What does it say about our society that groups like ours are more or less in the minority?
Who in history should be considered a freethinker?
Should we, and how should we, work to create more freethinkers in the world?
