Graphic Designer Needed
I thought I'd chance my arm and see if I can find a graphic designer on here; amateur or professional, just somebody who can use photoshop or illustrator etc. I am establishing an atheist society in NUI Galway and have an idea for its logo but I have little to no artistic skill or any knowledge of h...

Re: Life Imitating Art
I wasn't quoting Zeitgeist. I was basing it on the fact that many aspects of Jesus are taken from pagan sun gods. Such as his birth day, being called the good shepherd, the halo etc. Not to mention the fact that it was a bloody joke!

Re: Atheist Ireland starting local groups
I am currently establishing an atheist/Humanist society in NUIG so it would be great if a meeting was held in Galway after it is set up

International Eucharistic Congress
Here is the transcript of the Pope's address to the congregation at Croke Park, http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0617/breaking102.html The worst part, 'Thankfulness and joy at such a great history of faith and love have recently been shaken in an appalling way by the revelation of s...

Re: Fiscal treaty
The referendum for the fiscal treaty is borderline moot. The government is pursuing a certain policy, the fiscal treaty at its basic locks down this policy into law. If there is a no vote will the government do an about turn and alter their policy? Of course not, whatever the outcome of the referend...

Re: Dawkins and the bible plan
I think it's a good idea, I have quite a few Catholic friends who have never read the bible and are shocked when I tell them much of the content, purely due to the fact they only hear the nice bits which are rehashed every year. For a nation which is supposedly so Catholic, the ignorance regarding t...

Re: Good news from Norway
Official state religions are actually quite rare, only England, Greece, and Denmark have state religions in Europe. Of course pretty all Islamic nations have Islam as the State religion. However, just because a nation doesn't officially have a state religion does not mean there is complete separatio...

Re: Christening disaster
It is a perfect example of not just Christian narrow-mindedness but cultural narrow-mindedness. Most of my friends when asked if they believe in god they would answer no, but the they still tick the Christian box and baptise their children as it is the norm. It is said that the surest way to warp a ...

Atheist/Humanist Society NUI Galway
Hi, I am currently in the early stages of establishing an atheist/Humanist society in NUI Galway and I decided to post here to see if there are any fellow Galwegians interested in either joining or possibly lending a hand. Also if there any who have set up or been active in any atheist, Humanist, sk...
