Hi everyone!

 

Can you believe it?? Our next meeting will be in December!! I don't know about you, but for me that past couple of months seems to have flown by at Mach12 or something crazy.

 

Anyway, we have a new topic for next week - Freedom of Speech and Thought vs. Religious Tolerance. It's the ultimate death match!!

 

Here are some resources to get you started. Please be sure to read at least some of it if you can, as the discussion usually takes off better if we all come prepared.

And it's nicer for me as well, because it means I haven't wasted my time preparing this topic for us.

 

http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2007/90206.htm - overview of the situation surrounding religious freedom in the UK, quite lengthy, but a good source of basic knowledge

 

Wikipedia on Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Thought:

 

http://www.bibleevidences.com/other_rlgns.htm - Some initial thoughts on what the bible says about other religions

 

Religious Freedom and Sects:

 

The infamous Holiday Tree: http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1356566

 

This is a rather broad array of sources, I hope. We can go off in many directions on this topic, I think, so let's see what happens next week.

 

Looking forward to seeing you!

 

God bless,

Karoline
