Next Friday and Saturday, the Society of Open-Minded Atheists & Agnostics at the University of Kansas will be hosting ReasonFest.
Speakers include Annie Laurie Gaylor, Dan Barker, Darrel Ray, and James Underdown. Not a bad lineup for a student-run event! I’ll also be giving a talk on Saturday afternoon.
I hear there will be some special uninvited guests, too…
You silly college “scholars” are clueless, of your father the Devil and follow in the footsteps of the old heretic Robert “Royal Bob” Ingersoll! He taught over a hundred years ago that doctrine of blasphemy that there is no God and/or the God of the Old Testament is a “dirty bully”. There is nothing to debate. You know God exists and it is the same God in both the old and new testaments. It was written on your hearts by God that he exists and what his laws are. Read Romans 2 and Hebrews 8. You REBEL against that. The fool says in his heart there is no God. Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. WBC is there to warn you of your grievous sin and to flee the wrath to come. Your words are hard speeches against God and weary Him. He has been patient and longsuffering against you and your words, but not for much longer.
Yep, Westboro Baptist Church will be there on Friday from 4:50 -5:30p. (And, dammit, I’m not arriving until Saturday morning!)
To anyone attending the event…
Don’t stoop to their level.
Be clever.
Be bold.
Be kind.
And feel free to use their presence as a fundraising event for a good cause.
ReasonFest isn’t about WBC, so let’s not make them the main event. It’s about atheists getting together, celebrating reason and science and logic and all the people who promote those things on a regular basis.
