Corridor Iowa Secularists Meetup Group

"Would I be out of line to pose a philosophical question on a secular message board ? After all Voltaire was a philospher and a secularist, so I'll give it a shot. Is science just as dangerous as..."

"I don't know what we would do or be without "Latin" either but I like to think things would be a bit more "right". Latin is the the wests mother language, its odd that it's not a require ment in learning? Well thanks for the shout- back, and what's up what's up with your left eye brow raise? It's an inside thing. Wish it wasn't so difficult for me to get down there to meet with everyone hope to make the trip soon. Take care."

"Don't work too hard on decrypting that poem ... just read it slowly and out loud! Actually, my dad had a second poem *about* Latin: "Latin's a very good subject. The best I ever did know. I studied it for a year and a half, and forward I never did go. I don't know what I'd do without it, but I'd certainly like to try.""

"If there are any movies worth seeing that week, I'll be coming up for Mindframe's Dinner and a Movie at the end of May. Drop a line the week of, if you're interested."

"I like that. "For those not transferring at Limbo Station, please burn in the designated area." Hope to meet you soon. Belgium, man, Belgium."

"Ahoy hoy, Marion Celeste! Welcome aboard!"

"Welcome! Excellent favorite movie by the way."

"Hey Celeste - welcome to the group!! It's interesting that you felt able to decline confirmation. Not only were you smart enough to know you didn't have to, but you felt that you could say no. Most people I know don't even realize at that age that they don't have to it, and the ones that do are too afraid of their parents and do it anyway. I'll be at Leo's on Thursday, so I look forward to hearing more."

"Hey! I'm 24 and a new agnostic. I was raised Catholic in Marion but declined to be confirmed. I'm interested in meeting people with a secular outlook."

"Help out by taking 4 online surveys. The responses will help to refine the experimental stimuli for the first study of religious belief at the brain level. http://richarddaw... ..."

"How dare your brother change Guinness styles! Changing your mind is not allowed in America. I actually took that pic in Guinness' homeland over the summer and yes it does taste better there."

"If any veteran would like to respond to a column in the 5/12/2008 Gazette, see this http://www.iowase... "

"Gabby (the dog) is an Austrailan Shepherd and the love of my life - don't tell my husband. I've got another Aussie/Border Collie mix that wasn't around for my wedding, but she went on the canoing trip over the weekend. There's pics in the photos section. So are you coming this thursday to Leo's? I haven't paid attention to the RSVPs. I'm hoping I get to ride my Vespa there to show everyone!! So be there or miss the Vespa. ;)"

"Welcome, Cory. I find that people are less surprised when I tell them I'm an atheist, if I don't jump out of their shower to tell them. Just some friendly advice. :) Hope to see you at a meetup, soon."

"As a reminder, see the calendar event for the Memorial Day Sunday potluck at our house at 4 PM http://atheists.m... "

"Julia Sweeney, Letting Go of God, at Englert, Oct 25 Tickets are now on sale at Englert for Julia Sweeney's Letting Go of God. The event is Saturday, October 25 at 8 PM. According to the Cedar Rapids..."

"I grew tired of the different kids while I was in school telling me that if I didn't accept their faith, I'd burn in their self designated area or something like that. I have a very hard time believing an all power being, tinkers around with me."

"An Atheist goes undercover at John Hagee's Megachurch"

"Peoples Unitarian Church in Cedar Rapids has a book reading club which meets the first Wednesday of each month, and the public is welcome. The May meeting had a discussion on the various atheist books. The..."

"This kind of goes along with Jaime's Statement of Goals, but I feel that topic is heading elsewhere and this deserves its own discussion... At the film we screened on May 1st in Cedar Rapids, the discussion..."

"I have been an atheist ever since I could think for myself. Thanks to my parents (raised Baptist & Catholic), they never baptized me or made me go to church."

"As an organization, the Iowa Secularists strive (1) to support a community and network of atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and other non-religious persons and also (2) to build the resources necessary..."
