Hi all, Reba from the Center for Inquiry Indy has e-mailed my two days in a row about getting our group and November meeting times in their Nov. newsletter. I
need to respond by the Oct 25th to make the deadline. We need to talk about this. I know the three of us that went to the opening have toyed with the idea of
naming ourselves under their banner. I like what the center for inquiry is doing. We need to streamline our goals, meetings, and who we are. I want us to be
much more than a message board. We should talk about this. I suggest we meet this Wednesday at the library at 7 PM again. I propose we go out for a
dinner/drinks afterward because the time goes fast. (It doesn't have to be alcohol). We meet John Lofuts a local atheist author who runs the website
debunking christianity. http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com/ John said he would speak with us at some point. I picked up his book , "Why I rejected
Christianity: A Former Apologist Explains." From what I have read so far, it is quite good.

We have some big decisions to make. How about some national support. Meeting this Wed.

Cool guys, I will book the room. It is on. I hope the rest of you can make it.
Rose, I hope you can make it to the next one. What day or days of the week work best in Nov? I want your input, too. (I am a quarter of the way through The Fountainhead and want to talk about it with you). -Andy |

Andy- there is no particular day that is good for me, ever. My ex works 4 days on 4 days off. I will have my daughter for 4 Wednesdays and then not for 4
wednesdays (or any day of the week- I am only citing an example). I will catch meetings as I can and I really want to, don't get me wrong- but I have
school and other extra-curricular activities that keep me busy. I absolutely know I won't be at the meeting this Weds, but I might catch a Weds in
November.
The Fountainhead is a great book, I prefer its ending to the one for Atlas Shrugged, but I enjoyed both books. They changed my life. It was as if someone had put down in words all the things I had been thinking for so long- and had put these thoughts down so well. I am going to urge you now to never, ever rent the movie- it sucked. I recently finished "The Virtue of Selfishness" which is a little book of essays on objectivism. It was insightful and I enjoyed it as well. Long live capitalism

The Room at the library is booked. Bring what you want out of a group like this....
-Rose- So Wednesdays fall in a normal distribution pattern of being good or bad? I assume that is true for all days. If there is a day and time that odds are better let me know but we will take what we can get.... What would you like out of a group like ours? Fountainhead side note. I like both architects, I am at the place where Howard is thrown out of Peter's firm for not doing what the boss wants. These characters are both likable right now... I have a feeling I am in for a roller-coaster ride. I have not read Atlas Shrugged. I guess that is next. |
