Russell’s Tea Parties

Posted at 11:10 pm October 26th, 2008 by SAIU

The Russell’s Tea Party is at 8pm every Sunday. It will be located at the IMU in various locations—check the calendar to find out exactly where (you can also check the home page).

Basically, RTPs are a time to discuss philosophy, politics, skepticism, belief, and whatever else comes up.  The discussions tend to be pretty open-ended—even if we start on a specific topic, that doesn’t mean we’ll end up on the same one at the end.

Chalking suggestions

Posted at 1:10 am October 6th, 2008 by SAIU

We came up with suggested chalking phrases for the group on October 5 at our Sunday Russell’s Tea Party.  These are group-approved—if you do this, you can put “saiu.org” or other group info by them.  Please refrain from chalking unapproved phrase!  If you have a suggestion not on the list, email SAIU or come to a meeting to discuss it with the group.

We have also chosen two “phrases of the month” for October: they are “Imagine no religion” or “Imagine no religion—we would all be free!” and “Question everything.”  These two phrases should have the website, saiu.org, next to them, and can also list info on our weekly meetings.

Other suggested, group-approved phrases include: ‘Does god exist?’, ‘Ready to think outside the church?’, ‘Science is fun!’, ‘Evolution is real/Gravity is real’ or ‘Evolution=theory/Gravity=theory’, ‘Is religion rational?’, ‘Let there be thought,’ and ‘Got doubt?’

Pictures that are okay to draw include: the Darwin fish, the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM at venganza.org), and the Invisible Pink Unicorn (haha).

Again, this list is always open to suggestions and can be modified, but please check first!  We want to represent our group in a skeptical, while still friendly, way.  Thanks all!

10/19/08: Russell’s Tea Party

The Russell’s Tea Party has been rescheduled for 8pm, and now will happen every Sunday instead of biweekly.  It will be located at the IMU in various locations–check the calendar to find out exactly where.

Hopefully this time will stay consistent at least for the rest of the semester.
