Better Than Faith is a resource for anyone questioning faith. Whether you are doubting your own faith or you just want to shine a light on religion and expose some of its dirty little secrets, you should find something here to help you.
We feel that where there are proselytizers trying to convert people to their religion, there should be a voice of reason to help those people make an informed and rational choice instead of potentially caving under the confusing mind games and bullying that many preachers use.
If you would like to join us, we would be glad to have you. If you want to start your own group, we wish you the best of luck, and we hope that our materials will help.
In the wake of the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s relentless billboard attacks on religion which have erupted across the United States, the British Humanist Association in association with The Abhorrent Atheist Advocate Richard Dawkins are said to be plotting an attack on God himself using the city busses of London.
If you visit London, you would be well advised to avoid riding the busses. God has surely lifted his protection from the treacherous London bus system, as He will from those of Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh if the campaign is in fact extended to those cities.
For the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), graphic artist, animator and video editor Seth Brau has created a four and a half minute video laying out the basic rights listed in the declaration.
The UDHR was created in response to the atrocities committed around the world in World War II, and it was adopted by the United Nations in 1948. In 1976 it was, as part of the International Bill of Human Rights, given the dubious force of international law after being ratified by a sufficient number of member nations.
If any of you heard Vocab on the Backpack Radio show tonight saying, if I remember correctly, that someone from this site said there was no way we could tell people that torturing babies for fun was wrong, I would like to briefly answer that.
While we each have our own individual ideas and viewpoints, and they are sometimes misunderstood, I don’t believe that any of our members would say that torturing babies for fun, or for any reason, was acceptable behavior.
Having a club table on campus almost every day last week, along with the crazy rantings of “Preacher JK” for two days, has brought us a large crop of new members. We intend to keep the table running as much as possible, and we will keep pushing to get more new members signed up and active in the group.
Members and friends of the Secular Free Thought Society of ASU are invited to attend the 4:30 PM showing of Religulous at Tempe Marketplace in Tempe, Arizona.
Sadly it is just a regular public showing since we don’t have the extra money to rent out a whole theater for the group, so we all have to pay for tickets. On the bright side though, the ticket sales will support the development of future movies in this vein, so get as many people as you can to see it whether it’s with us or not!
October is shaping up to be a good month. Not only do we expect an infusion of new blood through the Secular Free Thought Society’s recent recruitment drive, but we should also have some fun new projects and events coming to fruition this month.
If you’re interested in participating in any of our events, or the Secular Free Thought Society’s, keep an eye out and we’ll post them here for you.
