Topic for the June 20 meeting is "Atheism: Twilight or Dawn"

Please join us for a presentation on the topic of "Atheism: Twilight or Dawn" by Dr Keith Parsons, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Houston-Clear Lake.

Oxford theologian and Christian apologist Alister McGrath argues that we are in the age of the “twilight of atheism.” Atheism was once a potent and flourishing movement, he says, but it allied itself with the falling stars of Freud and Marx, and so has been discredited. Meanwhile, religion, despite atheism’s predictions of its eminent demise, is back in full flourish. In his talk Dr. Parsons argues that McGrath’s “guilt by association” arguments fail resoundingly, and that, if anything, atheism’s sun is rising not setting.

We look forward to seeing you at 1:00 at the Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet.
