The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
Host: Matt H.
Date: July 30, 2008
Judges Score: 4/5 – A difficult read and an arrogant author, but good – overall everyone examined their own beliefs, gave acknowledgment to the dogma that they followed, and learned something new about evolutionary science or the history of organized religion.
Food & Drink: Poppa John’s pizza and snacks – Blue Moon beer seemed to be the popular favorite.
Guest Pugilist: Thanks to our special guest Mike S. for sharing his thoughts on God and religion (could have been difficult with a group of mostly strangers) and his kudos to Fight Club about how well read this group was and how thoughtful they were about the discussion.
