Announcement List for the Virginia Atheists & Agnostics

[John Kubinski <>]

CORRECTION:

I was informed this morning that Gwen is sick and thus unable to speak for us.

Going off a suggestion at the original meeting, in place of Gwen's talk I'd like to get to what we do believe rather than what we don't. We're planning to update the VAA's website soon, and one thing we could add is a sample of values and positive statements from members of the group. To generate these, I'm going to make slides detailing the issues we might wish to address (leading to a question like: "You're an atheist, why does it matter to you, can't you keep it to yourself?" ), and then record some responses we have.

All the other information in the original e-mail remains the same!

See you then,

John

Hello VAAers,

Tonight we will be meeting in New Cabell Hall 345 at 7:00 P.M. Our very own
Gwen Stanislavski will be giving her talk on Mormonism, which I can tell you is
equally informative as it is entertaining, and as nice a sketch of the Mormon
church as it is a story of Gwen's ultimate apostasy.

And also, here is a schedule of events we have lined up, with tentative dates.

Schedule of Events:

9/29 - Psychiatrist Andy Thomson on the Origin of Ritual

10/4 - Richard Dawkins arrives on his book tour for The Magic of Reality

10/13 - An insider from Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church tells his story

10/27 - Debate with Russell Glasser

11/10 - Bill Wilder from the Christian Study Center on How Most Christians
   Misunderstand Jesus' Resurrection

11/19 - Feast of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (A Thanksgiving Preliminary)


Thanks,

John Kubinski
VAA President
