Serious Issues

Isn't it interesting, that 1500 people have signed up for the Global Atheist Convention this weekend in Melbourne, but that there has been so little in the paper about it?

This morning a report on the opening night of the Rise of Atheism appeared on page 12 in The Age. All the while Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke have been on the front page for days on end.

Doesn't this tell us something about the appetite of Australians to talk about serious matters? Life is more a soap opera than a serious endeavour. Still thank God that there are people who really do want to talk about truth and reality.

Looking forward to hearing Greg Clarke at BMW Edge tonight - on the Difference Jesus makes to Atheism and Belief. The Atheist mantra is that belief is basically irrational. It will be good tonight to hear some reasonable faith!
