LW Humanist Association

The LW Humanist Association will Sunday, May 5, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, starting at 10:30 a.m.

Jackie Clarke will moderate an audience discussion on eight questions about religion. Each person will receive a handout with the questions and can participate in the discussion.

The questions are:

• Should all religions be open to criticism?

• Does religion reduce the rate of crime?

• Does religion impede the teaching of science?

• Does prayer work?

• Is religion so useful that it should be tax exempt?

• Was the universe created by a God?

• Does religious doctrine improve on the Golden Rule?

• Should we believe on the basis of evidence, or trust in faith? The association welcomes different views on religion and ethics and how they affect peoples lives. The club will also raffle off “The Magic of Reality,” by Richard Dawkins.
