Have you read, or at least acquired your copy of, Atheist Voices of Minnesota: an Anthology of Personal Stories
Anyway, this Sunday, at the Southdale Library in the Greater Minneapolis area (just south of the city), at the monthly Minnesota Atheist meeting, there will be a special event involving the reading out loud of portions of the book, by many of your favorite authors. Among the readers, I believe, will be PZ Myers and Stephanie Zvan. Further details are here.
Although I never planned on doing the reading, I was thinking I’d go to this event, but it turns out that I can’t make it. But I hope you do!
Have you read the breakthrough novel of the year? When you are done with that, try:
or Paperback

Is this the answer to personal stories of scientists discovering god later in life? Those are more intriguing than medium IQ people joining fashionable scientism. And there may be soon very many more of those “new creationists”, too:

It’s the answer to people needing a venue to tell their stories. Here’s an idea, Sascha. Read the book before deciding that it’s full of “medium IQ people joining scientism.”
Almost none of the stories involve science, and none are polemics against religions. They are personal stories…you know, like “Here’s how my friend’s death affected me” and “So funny thing, I used to be a ghostbuster.” Good mix of funny and poiniant.
Sasha is of much higher than average intelligence so I am sure he knows midling intelligence when he sees it.
