Triangle FreeThinkers Challenge

"TriangleFreeThinkers" is the Triangle chapter of FFRF. The domain name (TriangleFreeThinkers.org) is not presently owned by that organization, but
the owner of "TriangleFreeThinkers.org" has offered to donate the domain to TriangleFreeThinkers provided they step up to specific challenge. The Board of TriangleFreeThinkers are considering whether to accept the challenge, and have asked that the challenge be spelled out in precise detail.

Read about the challenge at trianglefreethinkers.org.

In my opinion, stepping to this challenge is no more than doing the job that TriangleFreeThinkers have assumed for themselves. For extra credit, they could

  • Make the timing of the meeting convenient for Bill Maher's visit to Raleigh in February 2010, and get him to attend and speak on the motion, or just make fun of both sides. (In which case they should charge for admission).
  • Get a famous or notorious religious person to speak for (or against?) the motion.

I think this challenge is a constructive exercise, but I am prepared to change my mind in the face of evidence and reason. You can discuss the challenge, and perhaps change my mind, by adding comments in this blog.



Re: Triangle FreeThinkers Challenge

Hey, I didn't really read your blogs, I just noticed that none of them have anyone commenting on them, none of them have seeded interesting discussion.  That's an awful lot of writing you've done for not a lot of return.  Well here you go bud, here's a response, let's get a real heated discussion going!  I'll give your reticent readers a topic: "freethinkers are neither free nor thinkers!".  Discuss.

Re: Triangle FreeThinkers Challenge

Oh, now I see why you have nobody posting!  You control who gets published!  And look! Aww, nobody's passed muster.  Shoot, I guess there's just nobody worthy of playing in your sandbox, so you shall simply play alone...

Re: Triangle FreeThinkers Challenge

I would certainly agree that most people neither think nor are free, and therefore the term 'freethinker' is inappropriate for them. Unfortunately that includes many people who call themselves 'freethinkers'.
