First Club Meeting of the Fall

We’re Baaaaaaaack!

Freethinkers, atheists, agnostics, humanists, naturalists and all other open-minded skeptics of traditional mainstream religious beliefs… come join the fun and help us plan for the next year.

We have some great ideas already in the works, and need all the help and active members we can get.

Thursday, Sept. 5, Noon – 2pm

We will meet IN THE SCC QUAD, on the grass near the gazebo and City Cafe. Look for the Ask An Atheist sign.

Our last event of the year (or maybe ever?)

The Salem Witch Trials & The Case Against Christ

Do you believe in witches? Why not?

What can the Salem Witch Trials tell us about the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Thursday, November 29
5:30 – 7:30pm
Rodda North 258
Sacramento City College

Hundreds of millions of people believe that Jesus came back from the dead. CSU, Sacramento Philosophy professor MATT MCCORMICK presents a decidedly unpopular view —he forcefully argues that the central tenet of Christianity, the resurrection of Jesus, is false.

In his recently published book, Atheism and the Case against Christ, he undermines Christianity and theism at their foundations; provides a powerful model for better critical reasoning; and builds a compelling case for atheism. McCormick offers persuasive arguments that are accessible, thoughtful, and new.

The presentation will be followed with a lively Question & Answer session.

Learn how to argue like a pro!

We will not have a club meeting this Thursday, Oct. 11.

Our next club meeting / event is Thursday, Oct. 18.
It is a special early edition meeting with a special guest.
We will meet at 11am in the Cultural Awareness Center
(inside the SCC Student Center) for a presentation and Q&A
with Philosophy Professor Nick Deihl. It is open to the public,
so bring your friends and enemies. See you there!
