April 2013 Freethinker Meeting

Post by Dardedar »

Howdy folks, we'll be gathering for our April Fayetteville Freethinker meeting this Saturday. We have some interesting presentations on the docket.

Doug Krueger will look at one of the oldest philosophical issues: what do we mean when we say that something is true?
Is it just a matter of describing the world? Doug will survey a few of the most popular theories of truth. It's not as straightforward as you might think.

Darrel will give us a Fair & Balanced, Freethinking & Fearless examination of the common claim, "we are the greatest country on earth!" It's sometimes known as
"American Exceptionalism." You can bring a little flag and wave it during the cheerful parts.

SpringFest is on again and we just sent in our application! It will be the following Saturday, May 4th on Dickson Street. We'll talk a little about what to
do at our booth. We have baby goats in stock to lure the children to our secular agenda!

We'll have our Moral Question of the Day and some interesting clips that make freethinkers smile. Hope you can make it!
