I really enjoyed the meeting last Wednesday. I have often felt like the only person with a different point of view on major issues so it was great to meet with like-minded people. There are so many issues we can discuss such as the intellectual rationale for atheism with replies to religious arguments, the purpose of life for atheists, and atheist/scientific ethics on various issues. We can also (sensitively) be a voice on campus for a scientific and rational approach to life. I'm sure Roya has lots of good ideas. I can help with some organisational aspects of the group if that would help. My friend had a good idea: she suggested we print a t-shirt saying 'Evolution Ain't A Dirty Word'!
