Christian club

[Mister Agenda]

Exactly what we do here in the forums. Be ourselves without the religious BS.

But all we do here is talk. That doesn't sound like my idea of a fun club - sitting around and just talking. A Christian club can atleast have some fun activities (for them) based on their religion.

It sounds like my idea of a fun club though. I founded one around ten years ago (now known as the Freethought Society of the Midlands) partly promped by a study I had read that indicated that atheists don't live as long as theists. A little more research showed that trend didn't carry over into largely atheistic European countries and I surmised that the difference was probably due to the social isolation typical of atheists in America, We have meetings pretty much every week that are only dinner and conversation (or conversation followed by dinner and conversation). We have very occasionally had a speaker, and recently established a charitable arm; but for many people there is value in just socializing with people who don't stigmatize you.

Also, most of us here usually talk only in response to resident theists. If all the theists here were to disappear tomorrow, conversation would be quite scarce.

I've not had the experience of seeing humans with a common language and snacks in a group where conversation is scarce.
