“ We will be up front. Look for the sign (it still says "Greater Pittsburgh Association of Deists and Agnostics" on it. ”
Our meeting topic for the June meeting will be what role the government should have in monitoring and interventing in religious practices that might be considered "abuse" or infringing on an individual's rights. With the recent news about the government's involvement with polygamists in Texas, it seems a relevant topic.
The article we will use as a springboard is the June essay of Dr. Robert M. Price's monthly column "Thus Spake Zarathustra" entitled "The Prime Directive." Since it is only accessible to subscribers of the newsletter, I have uploaded the essay as a Word file in the "files" section off to the left of the site. If you have any problems accessing the file feel free to e-mail me and I will get the article to you one way or another.
At this next meeting, we will use the first half hour or so for informal discussion, and then move on into the topic.
