Weekly Meeting: Moral Dilemmas

Weekly Meeting

Moral Dilemmas

Thursday, November 21st – 7pm
Ingraham Hall, Room 224

Moral dilemmas are a great way to reflect on what we think is “right” or “wrong”, and really get at what we think it means to be moral. How do we put value on human life? How do we decide who lives and dies? Is it moral to kill for the greater good? These questions, and more, will be the topic of discussion at our weekly meeting tomorrow night, led by Technology Chair Elle Russell.

Can’t make the meeting? Join us afterwards at the Rathskeller around 9pm for drinks, food, and more great conversation.

I hope to see you there!

Trivia Night

AHA was represented well on Monday for Trivia Night at the Sett in Union South. While we didn’t walk home with any prizes, we were one of the stronger teams. At 4th place before the final question, we wagered the maximum of 15 points, but got the question wrong, which plummeted us to 11th place. Still not too bad, considering there were approximately 25 teams there! We hope you can join us next time to help us walk out of there with awesome prizes.

The God Graveyard

This display was placed on Bascom Hill two weeks ago on October 30th. The halloween-themed graveyard featured hundreds of “gravestones” of gods that are no longer worshiped in large numbers as they once were. We then posed the simple question: how long will the gods of today last?

The response to this display was stunning. For more than a day, we were the top link on the subreddit r/atheism. We were also picked up on the popular blog The Friendly Atheist, and many other news sources. These sites combined led to nearly 150,000 views on our blog post and a 26,000% increase in activity on our Facebook page.
