I have an email list of six people, there are three on this post. I think Kendra (from the Freethinkers) has a couple more. That sounds like enough people for a party.

If you want to send me your email addresses I can add them to my list. Also respond to the saskskeptics blog post, so others can see you are out there.

Feel free to join the Saskatoon groups.

Our main websites are http://www.saskatoonskeptics.com, http://www.saskskeptics.com, http://www.saskatoonfreethinkers.com and http://www.meetup.com/Saskatoon-Freethinkers

As for the Mormons I have had a little run in with them as a friend of mine from school has been indoctrinated since he was a young kid, I got a copy of the Book of Mormon and plan to read it, but don’t know what to expect. Especially after seeing videos such as this:

Sorry about the extreme delay in my response, I don’t normally frequent this board and just remembered that I had left a comment.

In your first comment, you had mentioned a visit from the JW’s. I had a similar visit from the local Mormon group and had an interesting discussion. My main request of these visitors was some collaborating evidence to support their claims. They had plenty of evidence to offer from the book of Mormon. It’s quite a fantastic story and there shouldn’t be any problem to find evidence outside of their book that would at least agree in some way with their claim, but there has been nothing discovered. Anyways, they never came back (must have permanently written me out of their list of houses to visit).
I’ve listened to the Non-Prophets and Atheist Experience, really enjoy the shows but not sure if I would have the talent to put something like that together.

I would be interested in forming a group and getting something like this going.

Bye for Now,

Dave

Yeah it’s unfortunate that we have no real atheist community even near here. I notice that there are a lot of people (or maybe it’s just who I surround myself with) who are completely apathetic towards religion. They tend to believe in a higher power, but don’t care that I’m a non-believer or about organized religion. I have a few friends that don’t seem to be believers at all but prefer fence sitting “agnostic” which is really disingenuous to the term.

Anyway it’s good to hear from you Dave. Judging by your email address I assume you’re somewhere in Saskatchewan aswell. I don’t know if you listen to any atheist podcasts such as the Non-Prophets or the Atheist Experience TV Show but they recommend that if you want an atheist community you put an ad in the newspaper with a handful of people and go from there.

I’m open for discussion of trying to get things started if you are.

Take Care,
