We tabled for Eddie Tabash’s talk today.  It was fun, despite the cold; we think we got the word out pretty well.

All are welcome to a lecture by Eddie Tabash called “Ethics Without Religion: Why the Bible is an unfit basis for moral conduct.” This talk will explore the concept of morality in human beings and where our ideas of right and wrong come from, and critically examine the Bible and argue that it is an insufficient guide for acting ethically.

Where: Fine Arts room 102 on the IU Bloomington campus
When: Wed, Nov 19 at 7pm
Why: This talk promises to challenge your assumptions about the basis of morality and the source of moral truth.  It should be an interesting and enlightening lecture!

The talk will last about an hour, followed by a question and answer session.

This event is hosted by the Secular Alliance of IU, or SAIU. More info is on our home page.

View the flyers for this event: “Ethics without religion” and “Can you be good without god?” You are welcome to print and post these around campus, as well.

Thursday, November 7th, members of SAIU stood out on the street corner in front of Ballantine to answer peoples’ questions about atheism and to advertise the group.  We successfully got 30 people to sign up on our listserv, another 50-100 interested with business cards and brochures, and a handful of heated discussions. 

It seems as though a lot of people were interested in the group, and many may and hopefully will show up at our next meeting this Sunday.  It’s an event we should do again in the future.
