Wanting to start a Free Thinkers group at my college

Started Jul 7, 2011 0 Replies

But I have no idea where to start. I go to a medium-sized community college that doesn't really have any campus groups besides a christian study group, a faux-frat, and a christian bible study group.…Continue

I had a somewhat sad conversation with my mother this evening. We were talking about my grandparents, ages 91 and 87. Sadly, they're on their last legs and the family is starting to talk about…Continue

But I have no idea where to start. I go to a medium-sized community college that doesn't really have any campus groups besides a christian study group, a faux-frat, and a christian bible study group. Who would I talk to to get something like this started? Anyone out there done this before?

Tyler Lewis replied to MikeLong's discussion 'Should We Fight Patriotism? How?'
"A fundamental American principle is the separation of Church and State. I'm sure we are all aware of this fact.   That being said, I feel that being an atheist is somewhat more patriotic than people who blindly allow their country to allow…"

"That's a great xkcd. It's really kind of a pointer to the fact that "you" are nothing more than just a concept. "You" don't really exist concretely, "you" only exist in the abstract. So only the CONCEPT…"

"I think that this xkcd comic puts a neat perspective to that. http://xkcd.com/659/   I don't think I 'was' before I was born or that I 'will be' after I died. The configuration that 'is' me and is the…"

Scott replied to Tyler Lewis's discussion 'Death and dying'
"There was another thread on here in which someone said, "I view death as a return to the state I was in before I was born." That's probably the best description I've ever heard, but I have to add something to that.   If…"

Tyler Lewis replied to Gray's discussion 'Hoping to start an Atheist club at my high school...'
"Who says copying other clubs is a bad thing? Discussions, outreach, service projects; these are just actions that clubs do. Not wanting to copy another club on those fronts is like starting a swim team that only swims in the mud. Different, yes, but…"

Tyler Lewis commented on Misty: Baytheist Living!'s blog post 'What are your values?'
"I don't think I've ever sat down and thought about my values long enough to write them down as eloquently as you have, but here's a list off the top of my head: Don't be a dick. Treat people how you'd like to be…"

Atheism and the military

I'm currently thinking about applying for the Navy's Nurse Candidate Program to get some support finishing school. Is anyone here currently serving? Any former sailors? I'm a little nervous about how often my beliefs (or lack thereof) will come up or be an issue. Anyone have some insight into this?

Tyler Lewis replied to Gaytor's discussion 'Finding Secular/Rational Doctors'
"Like I mentioned below this, I get to spend time with a lot of medical staff during my internships. I can say that, at least judging from the area I work in, people's faith rarely impede on their level of care. I'm an atheist, myself, but…"

Tyler Lewis replied to Gaytor's discussion 'Finding Secular/Rational Doctors'
"During my clinical rotations I get to know quite a few doctors, especially the ER docs. I must admit I've met a few who hold quite obvious religious affiliation, however I've never known of a doctor to let his belief come before his…"

Freek replied to Tyler Lewis's discussion 'Death and dying'
"Personally, I think that when you die, you just cease to exist. And I don't have any problem with that (I sure won't when my time to go has gone). I don't think that our being stretches beyond our lifespan. However, I do think that…"

Why are you here?
I need something to do with my time besides play guitar and study, and that's very difficult when you live in one of the most Christian counties in California.
The religion you left
Christian, Was never a part of one
Why you left your religion.
I never really left anything. My parents were both raised generically Christian, but we never went to church. I asked my mother about this years ago, and she said something pretty profound, "How Christian would I be if I forced you to believe in something for no reason? You're allowed to find your own answers."

So I did.
