Open Forum Friday: There’s a boy in the girls’ room!

Remember this book? It didn’t have anything to do with transgenderism, but it was the first image to come up when I typed “boy in the girl’s room” into Google Image Search.

This Week’s Topic
This is a topic that should have been covered more by us and by local human rights organizations. I only [...]

*UPDATE* February 10th meeting is still on

Our February meeting is this Wednesday, February 10th, at 7PM in meeting room C of the Main branch library.

“Governing Committee” meeting Sunday @ 6pm

There will be an important meeting Sunday, January 31st at 6pm at Andy Welfle’s house concerning drafting the new amendment to our FFW Constitution about a governing committee.  This meeting will be used to hopefully finalize the amendment for proposal and vote at our regular February meeting next month.
If you do not know where Andy [...]

The Euchre-ists

We all know it is state law to know how to play Euchre if you reside in Indiana.  So you might as well put your Euchre skills to the test.  Now is your chance to get in on the inaugural FFW Heathen Euchre Tour!  Or FFWHET for short (the H is silent) LOL!  I propose [...]

Be Good-For Goodness’ Sake

A Bright Spot

For a while there, it didn’t seem like August was going to be too great a month for reason and rationality.  Watching this healthcare reform “debate” so far has been nothing short of excruciating.  Personally, I’ve seen a number of facebook friends unleash lightning strikes of pure misguided irrationality in their status lines and the [...]

My Creation Museum Field Trip.

I had a great time at the Creation Museum yesterday with Joel and the rest of the horde that showed up.
I won’t bore you with a review of the place since I’m already a little biased.  I did however go there hoping to see some signs of intelligent life, but alas I got exactly what [...]

Unchurched No Longer?

On the first Sunday of this month, I attended services at our local Unitarian Universalist Congregation.  I “went to church,” if you like.
However, calling the UU a “church” is a bit like calling Fresh Market a “restaurant.”  They don’t presume to feed you a fully prepared meal of one exclusive flavor of religious doctrine; rather, [...]

Fort Wayne highschoolers sound off about evolution/creationism

Michael B. just pointed me to a recent article in today’s Journal Gazette called, rather obliquely headlined, “Species of education: Evolution teaching, beliefs vary for two local students“.
Reporter Jaclyn Youhana talked with two local students about how they felt about their evolutionary science education in high school. Because Indiana Department of Education rightly says that [...]
