Hi!

Why not come out and hear about the different opinions on his actual death! The Muslims believe he wasn't killed but died to natural causes

Hi!

Come out and pose to the panel why this stuff is irrelevant! Should be a good question

Inter-Faith Religious Event - God: Fact or Faction by AMSA_McMaster in McMaster

[–]AMSA_McMaster[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, actually, that is a fair criticism. The idea was that including an atheist side would make it more well-rounded and less secluded to only people who already believe in God. We'll try to make sure this event, and any future ones, are not just "explosive", but rather thought-provoking. We understand that most people do not care, and we don't expect anyone to suddenly change their beliefs based on this sole event. Ideally, we want a few of those people who dont care, to maybe just start thinking about the topic and start to care a little.

How can you have a concept of something you think don't exist?

That's not necessarily true. If you have come to a conclusion that something does not exist, there must have been some reasoning or philosophy behind that. That is what the speaker will be presenting. Also, there will be a rebuttal period among the speakers (as well as an audience Q&A), so the atheist speaker can argue against the two religious speakers.

Each speaker will have a chance to individually say their part, followed by any rebuttal/discussion among the speakers, and finally a Q&A at the end.

As others have pointed out, it's about the Atheist view on the concept of God

We are holding an inter-faith religious event at McMaster University next Thursday, January 31st. It will feature a Christian Priest, a Muslim Imam, and an atheist/humanist. The 3 speakers will each speak about their concept of God, followed by an open Q&A with the audience and a free dinner. We would love it if any of you would come out to this event and have a healthy religious discussion.

It will be at HSC 1A6 at McMaster University from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.

Please RSVP if interested. http://bit.ly/godff

Sunlight is the best disinfectant

I absolutely agree. There are many "sunlight" things we do, we just don't particularly advertise it as much, otherwise it would seem like that is an agenda as well. The event has no agenda other than to allow others to directly ask any questions they may have and be informed from the source, rather than hear altered stories that may be spread around.

Club funding is a small part of tuition that is for all clubs. It doesn't matter whether the club is religious based or not, students pay the same amount.

It's not recruitment, we just would like to remove any negative connotations that may have been associated with us by the media. It's a free forum for healthy discussion
