I don't have a lot of atheist contacts here and I remember that many of the
members of CalLib are atheists and perhaps motivated about it, so I thought
I might as well as here.
The Evangelical Formosan Church is holding an introductory meeting at which
it appears that a lot of proselytizing will take place. I found out about
this through a flier which makes the "Lord, Liar, or Lunatic" claim (that
Jesus must have been one of those three) and invites everyone to come hear
more about who he is.
So I'm hoping right now to protest this meeting and to give out some atheist
literature there, including a rebuttal of the "Lord, Liar, or Lunatic"
argument. I wonder if anyone else is interesting in joining me.
I also have some periodic fantasies of forming a "UCB Evangelical Atheist
Society" at some point, which would be far more low-key than the evangelical
religious groups around here but which would try to provide a presence to
counter the religious feeling and proselytizing that goes on.
