    Default Guest Discussion Coming Soon

    At a yet to be determined date, we will have a guest from the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign come and discuss the campaign and related topics.

    A closed thread will be created at the time the discussion takes place, the host and guest will be able to post within this thread and all users can view it. The host will lead the discussion and incorporate user questions into the talk. Users will be able to view this discussion as it happens and ask questions live.

    If anyone thinks this is a good idea and would like to attend such a discussion on the forum, please reply. *edit* Also include what time of day you are free to attend such an event.


    Thanks.

    I would love to attend something like this. If possible, could it be in the evening or weekend?
    Faith, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
    Religion, n. A daughter of hope and fear, explaining to ignorance the nature of the unknowable.
    Philosophy, n. A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.
    -Ambrose Bierce

    Yes, weekends or evenings are probably the best time. When ever most people are available to attend is an optimal time for this to take place.

    This is a grand idea Chris, if I can I'll be there. But with rotating shifts I couldn't give you a
    date or time.

    Fabulous idea! I would love to attend, and I agree, evenings or weekends are the best.

    Sounds like a great idea. I'm not sure I'd be able to attend live, but I'd certainly want to read it after the fact.

    I'm still working on this.... in the mean time, I have also talked to some people from the Canadian Secular Alliance. They are a great group of ppl that are constantly trying to separate religion from government. I once saw a small presentation from one of their board members. He discussed the amount of tax dollars going into church and religion. I was gobsmacked by the amount we pay to religious institutions.

    *edit* Funny enough, Indiana Atheist Bus has replied an hour ago and it looks like we'll be able to set something up with them after all.

    Working out the finer details, this coming weekend we might have some organizers from the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign coming to discuss their campaign.

    I think this is a great idea, and weekends or evenings would be the best times for most people.
