This Month’s Discourse

 

Speakers (see windows right)

 

What Fun We Had!

Over about five years we argued, disagreed, clarified, and learned from one another.  We discussed:

  • God
  • Morality
  • Religion
  • Science
  • Evolution
  • Philosophy
  • Relativism
  • Jesus
  • Nietzshce
  • Tolerance
  • Movies
  • Art
  • Prison
  • The Bible
  • Abortion
  • Terrorism
  • Fear
  • And much more!

Thank you for providing a place for honest, genuine dialogue, safe for questions and disagreement.  A place of respect, friendship and diversity!

 

If anyone would like to try to resurrect this project, contact me and I’ll be glad to again be part of such a good thing! 

Joe Morgan
