The theme last Saturday focused on “Religion” as a follow-up of the previous topic of “Suffering”. Since the majority of the café-philosophers are self-proclaimed Atheists, the topic of religion seemed to be an easy target of ridicule. The God, our all mighty divine Providence received a fair dose of thrashing… The quotes of the day:
“The only difference between Religion and Cults is the amount of real estate they own.”
“God is triangular.”
“God is our absentee landlord.”
“God is a dog spelt backwards.”
“Christian art is full of fig leaves.”
Let’s have a look at some more Fig Leaves:
For this topic, I would recommend this website: Atheism & Agnosticism.
I would also recommend the four articles written by our co-author Peter on philosophical theories, critical thinking, and philosophy of religion (see articles below).
Our next session will be in French. I hope our Francophone friends can make some contributions to this blog in the language of Descartes or in the language of Shakespeare.
Au plaisir de vous lire...
