Atlanta Freethought Society Game Night Returns!
SAT, APR 13th · 6:00 PM EST to 9 PM EST
In the years since the pandemic we’ve had AFS meetings via Zoom and we’ve all played games and socialized with our friends and family members online, and while that’s fun, it’s not the same. Since it’s winter, we’ve all been asking members what they want to do and so many have asked for Game Night to come back. We hear you. We missed it too!
So Saturday, March 9th at 6 pm until 9ish or so, Atlanta Freethought Hall will be open again to play games and have fun again!
AFS will provide soft drinks, coffee & hot chocolate. Feel free to bring your favorite adult drinks (beer and wine okay), Please bring snacks to share.
Please join us for fun board and card games that you want to play with a group of new and old friends. We will continue this monthly the night before our monthly main meeting for as long as everyone wants to participate. Make sure you are healthy before coming or if you have to you can wear a mask. We really would love to see you!!!

UPCOMING MEETINGS
AFS April meeting
SUN, APR 14 · 1:00 PM EST
Blake Smith on “Bigfoot & Aliens: A New Religion”
Atlanta Freethought Society is eager for you to hear our next speaker! Blake Smith is a writer and researcher, computer automation specialist, and the host of the podcasts MonsterTalk: The Science Show about Monsters, and In reSearch Of…(IRO). MonsterTalk has been using monsters as a springboard to discuss science topics since 2009, and IRO is doing an episode-by-episode rewatch of the 1970s pioneering paranormal show In Search Of…. and adding in the science and context that the original producers chose to leave out.
He will be giving a talk titled Bigfoot & Aliens: A New Religion? What began as a phenomenological approach to mysteries (What are people seeing in the sky? What are people seeing in the woods?) has changed to something more like a religion of the unknown. Is this new?
In her book American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology, Diane Pasulka argues that there is a new religion emerging from the world of UFOs and UAPs. This talk will discuss the secret religious threads weaving together these seemingly unrelated fields of monsters and aliens.
The Smith program, free and open to the public, will be preceded by a few minutes of Zoom-based AND in-person socializing starting about 12:30 P.M. Eastern in the US, for any interested. The program will start at about 1 P.M. on Sunday, 10 March, via Zoom and in AFS Hall. We welcome those who are not freethinkers but who just want to know more about skepticism and the unwillingness to believe claims without conclusive evidence. All freethinkers are of course welcome—and we hope that they will decide to join as members in due course. Details (the same as last month) on the Zoom meeting number are shown below.
