Dianne said… - Thanks, I just joined this site, and I think it is great. Being an athiest in Georgia is like Atlanta being the island in a sea of rednecks, only an island of one. So it has been nice to get on line and see the island is not so small.

Maria Walters said… - We are a group that get together once a month, usually at Manuel's Tavern. We started just getting together and drinking and chatting but as we've grown, we're starting to be a little more formal, with discussion topics, news and event updates. We maintain a group here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/group.php?gid=16948307866 and our next meeting is December 13.

Jim Linville said… - Atlanta and Emory is actually home to the Society of Biblical Literature, the primary academic society for Biblical Studies. There is a lot of theologizing done at the SBL, but a hell of a lot of good work, too.
I don't know off hand who is teaching Bible at Emory, I think it is all done at Chandler School of Theology, but I might be wrong. Is there a separate Religious Studies dept. in the main university? Each university has its own arrangements with denominational schools.
My own undergrad prof, Ehud Ben Zvi (an atheist of Jewish extraction), did his PhD at Emory and didn't have any troubles. I suspect most of the people are fairly liberal Christian if they are in biblical studies. I suspect if Hinduism, Confucianism et.al. are on the curriculum, you will find a lot of folks sympathetic to you.
I did my PhD at the U of Edinburgh in the Faculty of Divinity with a full scholarship. Oddly, the students in the Hebrew and Old Testament dept. were pretty much all heretics or atheists. Not so in the New Testament.

- There is a big difference between Religious Studies and what is disguised as that in seminaries, etc. My own field is Hebrew Bible, and the vast majority of folks in it are relatively liberal Christians or Jews. More conservative ones hang on in the periphery, make some good contributions once in a while and get annoying at other times. I have had students walk out of my classes in disgust, however!
As far as R.S. as a whole, goes, most folks are pretty well secularized and agnostic or atheist.

It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)
