August 2014 Freethinker Meeting

Post by Dardedar »

Hello Freethinkers,

Well, we hope you've been having a great summer. It's almost over, and
that means it's time to start having Fayetteville Freethinker meetings
again!

Because of when our room is available, our meeting for August is early
in the month. Please note that it is also on a Sunday. Our meeting is
this Sunday, August 17th. It's at the usual hour and place, though:
2:00 at the Fayetteville Library.

Darrel is of the opinion that we are being a little to intellectually
complacent, comfortable and should challenge some of our assumptions
and preconceptions a bit more than we have. We need more debates, less
back patting. So get ready for Fayfreethinkers... Extreme Edition. All
within reason of course.

To start this off, what better way to stir things up than to examine
something as personal and controversial as... our food. What are some
of the moral questions and consequences of our diet decisions? We have
arranged for a special guest speaker who will travel from Paragould to
make us look at this topic in a way perhaps some haven't thought
about. It will be interactive so if you want to engage, perhaps ponder
ahead of time the reasons you choose to eat the way you do. Is it
something you've thought about, or perhaps just something you've just
inherited from the society around you?

We'll have other topics and we'll watch some of the best clips we've
been holding back due to lack of time.
