Come join us for a grand discussion on the failure of the arguments for god. Let’s spend a Saturday afternoon for some in depth conversations regarding counter apologetics, philosophy, science, and the bible. Let’s shine a light on the epistemological dishonesty lurking within fundamentalist apologia and tactics while examining methods of effective communication. Bring your knowledge and experiences, bring your favorite books, podcasts, videos and websites. Come to teach, come to learn or just come to listen and let’s write the last chapter on god. 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ATHEISM vs CREATIONISM in a nutshell \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- “In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.” \~ vs. "In the beginning"... there was a quantum event which, in a microsecond, erupted into a Quark-Gluon plasma, creating the first matter of our universe. As this plasma expanded it coalesced into hadrons and protons then the forces of nature began to separate and atoms were formed into great clouds of hydrogen and helium that began to condense and rotate under their own gravity. Theses clouds became the first generation of stars and under the sheer magnitude of their masses, these giants erupted into supernovas creating new generations of clouds of heavier elements which again coalesced under gravity and... "created the heavens and the earth". Saying god did it is so uninspired, so bland and vacant. The majesty and awe of the knowledge and understanding we have of this universe, has emerged, not from the bible, not from god, but from the genius of humanity. In the very last moments of the 4 and a half billion year history of earth, humans have evolved... “ and for the last several 100,000 years, we have looked up into that night sky and wondered at those awesome points of light, what are they, where did they come from... We are the first people in that long history not to wonder... not to guess... but to know...

A clear example has unfolded in New York where a self-described "trans-woman lesbian" (a hetero man in a dress) has used gender-neutral language amendments to supplant women in elected offices that had been specifically reserved for females. The arrangement of "1 man + 1 woman" had been put in place to ensure women's fair representation in an arena from which they have been historically underrepresented or excluded: [https://thevelvetchronicle.com/exclusive-decaudin-preps-for-election-recount-after-unofficially-taking-2-female-seats-new-details-uncovered/](https://thevelvetchronicle.com/exclusive-decaudin-preps-for-election-recount-after-unofficially-taking-2-female-seats-new-details-uncovered/) Women's Liberation Front: "New York Democrats have decided to insult women by pretending in public that state committee member Emilia Decaudin is literally female..."

We are all experiencing a menagerie of emotions these days, and not just a lot of them, but intense ones. When we experience emotions to the degree and strength that we are right now, it is important to harness that emotional energy in productive ways or allow them to release in nondestructive and nontoxic ways. Emotions that turn toxic in us only harm ourselves, which can produce physical ailments as well as further cause us mental and emotional turmoil, none of which is healthy. If you are looking for assistance in processing emotions that may be a little heavy for you right now and help to either use their energy for productive outlets or to release them in healthy ways, please join us in weekly Toxic Thought & Emotion Processing sessions each Sunday at 3:30 ET. We will deal with 1 emotion each week for 4 weeks until further notice: anger, fear, shame (& its cousin guilt) and sadness. The schedule will be as follows: 1st Sunday - Anger 2nd Sunday - Fear 3rd Sunday - Shame/Guilt 4th Sunday - Sadness Sessions will begin free of charge and if anyone wants to donate to our nonprofit, Liberate From Hate, Inc., we will be grateful. We will use a Zoom online conference room, so please be sure to register so that you receive the link. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/processing-intense-toxic-thoughts-and-emotions-registration-108035697680 It is important to register with the Eventbrite site or with the Zoom registration link in advance of the session so that I can get your information to send you the worksheet we'll be using during the class. The worksheets are key to the sessions. Please bring a journal or other writing pad to the sessions.

Fun, uplifting and easy to follow! Our dance time depends on the weather. Call or write to confirm the time. Social distancing.

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!

Ciao a tutt\*! Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (Tremont Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
