Equally you can bring someone else's work, maybe a belove …

A very good debate I recently had with a high-ranking Christian representative inspired me to launch this Meetup group. Most debates between Christians and Atheists are either highly philosophical ("What made existence come into existence?", "What triggered the Big Bang?", "Can we ever prove/disprove the existence of God?") or articulated around scientific inconsistencies in the Bible (miracles, as Christians would argue,) - In my experience though, these debates don't lead anywhere. In this Mee …

… The aim of this group is to expose the controlling elite along with their puppet politicians, and to fight back against the likes of Monsanto and the pharmaceutical industry by promoting natural health and organic food. This group is not only about taking action but also meeting like minded people to discus issues that most people try to ignore and to learn about natural health. I am hoping that people will eventually start their own chapters in their home cities creating a country wide network …

Do you like high-brow conversation? Then our group is not for you. We are a small, informal, non-fiction book group who meet roughly every couple of weeks and (in theory) discuss one book a month. Although a lot of it is just drinking beer. Non-fiction does in fact cover loads of topics - not just science!!! Virtually anything goes, from biographies to wars, or psychology to herpetology (just joking about the psychology). We meet every second Tuesday around 20h00 in the Blue Blazer on Spittal S …
