Just wanted to note for anyone in the Fort Wayne area that John Loftus, a former evangelical minister, author of the book Why I Rejected Christianity: A Former Apologist Explains and founder of the group blog Debunking Christianity is speaking at Freethought Fort Wayne’s tonight (May 14th). This should be a lively and entertaining talk so if you happen to be in the Fort Wayne area come on over to the Allen County Public Library, Meeting Room B at 7PM. Fort Wayne is a highly religious community, to put it mildly, and it takes a lot of balls to sponsor an event like this so props go to Jeremy from Skeptigator for coordinating John’s talk, and Bob Caylor at the News-Sentinel for a nicely balanced, non-judgmental article talking about John’s book and speaking engagement. Contact either myself or e-mail contact AT freethoughtfortwayne DOT org for more information.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? — Epicurus (341–270 B.C.), Greek philosopher
