SUMMARY:Montreal Freethinkers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Hello fellow Freethinkers\, This months book will the long awaited Non-Believer nation\, which deals with our favorite neighbour to the south The mighty U.S. of A. \nToday\, nearly one in five Americans are nonbelievers – a rapidly growing group at a time when traditional Christian churches are dwindling in numbers – and they are flexing their muscles like never before. Yet we still see almost none of them openly serving in elected office\, while Mitt Romney\, Rick Santorum\, and many others continue to loudly proclaim the myth of America as a Christian nation. \nIn Nonbeliever Nation\, leading secular advocate David Niose explores what this new force in politics means for the unchallenged dominance of the Religious Right. Hitting on all the hot-button issues that divide the country – from gay marriage to education policy to contentious church-state battles – he shows how this movement is gaining traction\, and fighting for its rights. Now\, Secular Americans—a group comprised not just of atheists and agnostics\, but lapsed Catholics\, secular Jews\, and millions of others who have walked away from religion—are mobilizing and forming groups all over the country (even atheist clubs in Bible-belt high schools) to challenge the exaltation of religion in American politics and public life. \nThis is a timely and important look at how growing numbers of nonbelievers\, disenchanted at how far America has wandered from its secular roots\, are emerging to fight for equality and rational public policy. \nOn a side note\, I have just purchased a condo and have been extremely busy with the move\, so I apologize for the late posting. As always\, READING THE BOOK IS NOT NECESSARY FOR ATTENDANCE. I would love to see as many smiling freethinkers as I can at all meetings. Discussions are light\, go on many tangents and are designed to be enjoyed by all who attend!!!! \nCome Join your local CFI Montreal Freethinkers at Café Commensal ( Metro station Berri-UQaM)\, where a book title will be selected for each one of us to read\, and then engage in discussions and debates afterward. \nFeel free to contact Andrew Cody if you have any questions or suggestions. We will be meeting every third Sunday of the month. If you’re not a CFI member yet\, please consider joining us today! Click on http://cficanada.ca/support

SUMMARY:Montreal Freethinkers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Hello fellow freethinkers. This month we were going to be reading be reading Nonbeliever Nation by David Niose. However\, I tried to pick it up at Chapters and Indigo and its out of stock at the moment. I did however order the book and found out it won’t be delivered until around the 10th of May. That does not leave very much time for reading so I am going to postpone this book for the following Month of June. This month just for a little fun\, we will read “The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster”. This book is a satirical look at religion. Recently we have been dealing with some pretty serious topics including psychology\, Scientology\, leaving religion etc. I think this book will inspire some funny conversation and make an easy read for this month. It will give us a chance to have a little more fun this month. \n  \n \nCAN I GET A “RAMEN” FROM THE CONGREGATION?! \nBehold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM)\, today’s fastest growing carbohydrate-based religion. According to church founder Bobby Henderson\, the universe and all life within it were created by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What drives the FSM’s devout followers\, a.k.a. Pastafarians? Some say it’s the assuring touch from the FSM’s “noodly appendage.” Then there are those who love the worship service\, which is conducted in pirate talk and attended by congregants in dashing buccaneer garb. Still others are drawn to the Church’s flimsy moral standards\, religious holidays every Friday\, or the fact that Pastafarian heaven is way cooler: Does your heaven have a Stripper Factory and a Beer Volcano? Intelligent Design has finally met its match–and it has nothing to do with apes or the Olive Garden of Eden. \nWithin these pages\, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts– dispelling such malicious myths as evolution (“only a theory”)\, science (“only a lot of theories”)\, and whether we’re really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees\, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!) \nFor a trailer for this book copy and paste these links in your address bar. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVP31rKdDAY \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk8EANdpAj0 \n  \nCome Join your local CFI Montreal Freethinkers at Café Commensal ( Metro station Berri-UQaM)\, where a book title will be selected for each one of us to read\, and then engage in discussions and debates afterward. \nFeel free to contact Andrew Cody if you have any questions or suggestions.
