Event Description

The Skepticon events began in Fall of 2008 when PZ Myers and Richard Carrier came to the MSU campus. This Fall, Skepticon II will build on the success of the first.

So far our lineup for the event is PZ Myers, Richard Carrier, Rebecca Watson, DJ Grothe, and Dan Barker, along with local presenters Dr. Mark Richter and JT Eberhard. The speakers will provide many of the reasons that belief in god is not only indefensible, but harmful to society as a whole. Our presenters will suggestion ways to combat faith in government and in general. They will also rebut many of the common arguments in defense of belief in god.

I've never been to a conference like this, but it sounds awesome! I hope I can make it out for at least one night!

I've lived in the Kansas City area for 7 years and have been disappointed in the lack of these types of gatherings. Looking forward to attending.

This would be great but it's too much of a trek. Thanks for inviting me.

Hey, I used to live in Springfield, MO. Until the number of churches outnumbered the number of bars. I only went a few hours away though...hmmm....sounds interesting.

It may be better to be a live jackal than a dead lion, but it is better still to be a live lion. And usually easier.
