The Absurdity of Life without God (Live Read)

If there is no God, then man and the universe are doomed. Like prisoners condemned to death, we await our unavoidable execution. There is no God, and there is no immortality. And what is the consequence of this? It means that life itself is absurd. It means that the life we have is without ultimate significance, value or purpose. (William Lane Craig)

We will do a Live Reading of Craig's article found in Cottingahm's Anthology
(p. 845 of the PDF).

Please note that we will put emphasis in keeping the conversation civil and focused on the text.

About Craig:

William Lane Craig said that as long as God gives the thumbs-up, it's okay to kill pretty much anybody. (Greta Christina)

I have no intention of assisting Craig in his relentless drive for self-promotion. (Richard Dawkins)

Very rigorous, very scholarly, very formidable. And I say that without reserve. Normally I don't get people saying "good luck tonight" and "don't let us down" but with him I do. (Christopher Hitchens)

We all seek meaning in our lives and dread futility. Philosophy doesn't provide facile answers, but the philosophical quest to make sense of our fleeting lives is one that we all share.

This group will explore possible answers by looking at a mixture of approaches. Not only philosophical writing, but also literature, history, poetry and films.

The organizer is not an expert in any of these writers but has a long experience in organizing similar meetings. He also has an Oxford PhD in European History as well as a Cambridge MPhil on the same discipline. He currently teaches foreign languages.

Meetings will be on Fridays at 17:00 EST on Zoom.
