Come to my Talk on the Resurrection - Bournemouth, August 14th

Okay, so this might be out of the question to the majority of my audience, those good people being the wrong side of the pond 9culturally, historically, morally...:) heh!), but I am giving a talk to the Dorset Humanists (the largest humanist group in the UK, no less) on the

A Coronavirus Conversation: Philosophy, Psychology and Politics for You

As I have mentioned, I gave a talk on coronavirus to the Dorset Humanist group online last night (for the benefit of one commenter here, the biggest humanist group by membership in the UK). The talk was wide-ranging and I had some fantastic feedback - so it went down well.

An Evening of Humanist & Atheist Poetry & Music for your Enjoyment

At the end of last year, myself and a friend (and his son) performed an atheist poetry and music evening for the Dorset Humanists 20th Anniversary celebrations. I've only just realised now that it was recorded. Here it is for your delectation. The music is only being picked

My understanding Islam debate now available online - please check it out!

I recently had a fascinating debate with David Warden of the Dorset Humanists concerning Islam, which I have written fairly extensively about. The debate was really well-mannered and a pleasure to be involved with. Thanks to the Dorset Humanists for hosing and inviting me. Here it is:

My "Understanding Islam" talk went very well

I had a debate of sorts in my last talk to the Dorset Humanists on Thursday night. It was really interesting, and I am thankful to DH for inviting me and providing a thoroughly stimulating environment to discuss these things.

Understanding Islam

Sorry I have been quiet, but I have been preparing for a talk to the Dorset Humanists on Islam. This will be a co-presented evening which will feature me putting forward my case that Islam naturally tends towards violence on account of the role model of Muhammad and the provenance

New Talk - "The Case for God on Trial" went down a treat

I gave my first talk of this name this week to Dorset Humanists, covering five different arguments (4 against God and 1 for), allowing for audience participation after each argument. Personally, I really enjoyed it - disseminating some quite intricate, at times, philosophical and theological arguments to a popular audience,

Talk on free will is really well received

I was lucky enough to be asked back to the Dorset Humanists, based in Bournemouth, UK, to give a talk on free will. I had previously given them a talk on the Nativity, based on my book, The Nativity: A Critical Examination. They appeared to enjoy it enough to ask me back, and I obliged.
