I stumbled upon this forum because it was featured on ezboard when I logged in.

I am mostly interested in finding a forum that discusses books and that is what brought me here. I wasn't expected the no-god theme. I believe very strongly in God. So I was just going to go on my way quietly. But got an email from Chris.

I'm still up for discussing books, but I have a feeling I will differ greatly in my opinions. If that is ok, then I will post.

Other than that, I live in Colorado. Married. Three kids. The usual.

I hope you stick with us....having differing viewpoints makes a discussion a bit more exciting. There's only so much of "yeah, I agree" that one can stand, after all (unless it's people talking about my genius :rollin

).

Shermer's book may even be just the one to start you off with us....We're bound to get some quality discussion out of it if we have both sides of the fence represented.

Thanks. I'll try and get the book this weekend. I'm finishing up another one right now.

Hey Shannon-
I too was looking for a place to discuss books
and found this--and at first was put off by the atheist view. I am not a church goer but do believe in God.
Hope we can find a place for good book discussions together.

Welcome to BookTalk! You're very much welcome here at BookTalk, whether you believe in God or not. There are a zillion sites out there for Christianity and other world religons, so I'm sure you can understand why BookTalk was created.

Freethinkers like to be amoung other freethinkers at times, but this doesn't mean we want to exclude believers. Just be cognizant that our book selections will always be of interest to freethinkers, and arguments that cannot be supported by logic are doomed here. BookTalk is about reading, thinking, learning and growing. As long as our members embrace this view, they are welcome here. When a tough question is asked...we all have to have the courage to answer it with honesty. You may be asked questions or you might want to present other members with questions. I'm hoping that we all have the strength to stand strong and defend our positions with reason.

Chris
