Hi Enlightened Observer! I'm Kris - I host the Aussie/Kiwi group here on Nexus. I'm also the media and communications consultant for the forthcoming "Rise of Atheism" Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne in March 2010. The Convention is being organized jointly by Atheist Alliance International and the Atheist Foundation of Australia.

I wonder if you could let your members know that tickets for the convention are now available online at the Convention website. We are expecting nearly 3,000 delegates, so this convention is going to be huge.

Confirmed speakers include: Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Peter Singer, Taslima Nasrin and many more.

Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Enlightened Observer,
On 1 February 2009 you asked: “Does "inter-dialogue among faiths" include us?”

Exactly. A variation of this questions I presented to Yossi Klein during the presentation of his book At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden in Hartford Seminary on October 29, 2008:
“How you would address to a person who has no God?” Then, we had a very interesting conversation about the “authentic clash of civilization today.” I said that it is not between Muslims and Christians or Jews and Muslims, or Christians and Jews. Because, in the end, the panel agreed that there is only One God.
The authentic clash is between Atheist and Theist. I expressed doubt that we could find a common ground. Yet, Hartford Seminary, being a religious institution, welcomes discussions, debates and students of all kind.

Not to worry: I don't do religion here.

Hello mate. Thanks for the link. I knew there would be something on this, but I was so angry I fired off the email. Should've waited till I calmed down a bit, eh?!
Cheers!

Thanks to write me.
You may know the names of Bangladeshi writer, critic, and ubiversity Professor Dr. Humayun Azad who was attcked by the Religion-blinded Colonizers and the feminist writer Taslima Nasrin who is forced to leave her loving motherland.
The Truth is crying for servival here, in Bangladesh.
However, Humayun Azads never die. And, your words have encouraged me to make the fellow people aware of expressing their real and true thought and feelings.

Thanks again!

Yes Hartford Seminary is a religious institution. It has its roots as a Protestant or Congregational but now has become in a multi-religious institution, specialized in the inter-dialogue among faiths.

Good afternoon!

Will get my teeth into this site when I have a bit more time - but as a pointer, my review of the Richard Dawkin's DVD box set on Amazon.co.uk is a fair reflection of my attitudes! (and prompted some amusing comments!)

Have a good weekend!

Steve

Thanks for the welcome. I'm just exploring the site at the moment, lurking around you might say, I'm sure when I've got my bearings I'll put in my tupenny worth :-)

Thanks for the welcome. I shall avail myself of the odd comment , no doubt! .

Oh, not to worry. I have good humour.

Rather, the skeleton was a symbolic representation of a religious body, if not a perfidious priest, who was overwhelmed by the truth and force of the logical arguments that scientists expound when they expose the dishonesty and menace that still issues from a duplicitous church.
