Escaping Hinduism – The holiest of cows!

Our previously organised debate has been cancelled due to coflicting university obligations for Timothy. There will be a debate at the Melkite Church between Tarek Chamie and Steve Marton on the topic "Does God exist?" on Friday 26th of August.

This talk however belongs to Devesh Sharma who was born in India, and came to Australia during his early childhood. While juggling both the ‘untouchable’ Indian culture, and the modernity of Aussie culture, he had formed a view that religion was just a giant shady pyramid scheme.

But he couldn’t escape… mainly because he couldn’t pay rent as a child.

He has chanted all the mindless holy chants, and has received the equivalently mindless results!

And finally, he has ‘reincarnated’ himself, and understood that he was actually an atheist all along.

Come join Devesh for a light-hearted talk on the ‘peaceful’ scam of Hinduism.

Once a month the Meetup meets for a topical discussion with a special guest. Special guests in the past have been members of the meetup, or experts from outside, speaking on topics of their expertise. If you wish to speak, or know somebody who would like to speak to us, please contact Steve 0450 123 211.

With the approval of our speakers, we also attempt to record our talks and put them up on our youtube channel (http://youtube.com/sydneyatheists).
