This thread is about the Post 2012 Global Atheist Convention and in that light here is the final forum on Sunday comprised of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
For those wishing to understand atheism today, it is well worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOMjEJ3JO5Q&list=PL7C0CA45F60FD44C7&index=8&feature=plpp_video Most of the presentation from the 2012 Global Atheist Convention will be released on Youtube soon and on a 4 disk DVD set later this year. Another interesting component of the convention is the auctioning on eBay of 3 posters which have been signed by all speakers and presenters. These represent an important part of atheist history. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/atheistfoundationaustralia/m.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A1%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A5721&rt=nc&_ipg=50&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14.l1514 There is no compunction to watch any vid or bid on the posters.

to point out the absurd throw away lines..used by so many of the new age messiah's.. [yes it looks patently absurd when we simply egsamin the words and mixing of con with exceptional bias] oh well maybe next year christianity also didnt start with a bang see you back here again next year Posted by one under god, Sunday, 10 June 2012 7:22:40 AM

What an extraordinary concept, Mr Nicholls.
>>There is no compunction to watch any vid or bid on the posters.<< compunction n: A feeling of guilt or moral scruple that follows the doing of something bad Fascinating. You appear to be concerned that anyone watching your home movies might feel ashamed for doing so. One has to wonder what tortuous thought processes led you to that conclusion. Or is there something you're not telling us? Posted by Pericles, Sunday, 10 June 2012 9:58:36 AM

It could be explicable depending on your point of view…
I would understand that from David's perspective, 'not' attending the GAC was doing something bad. No doubt there will be interest in the poster auction – at least you'll be spared the charge of selling indulgences… Posted by WmTrevor, Sunday, 10 June 2012 10:21:56 AM

Hiya David,
3 signed and auctioned posters represent an important part of atheist history - how so? And what do you mean by understanding "atheism today"? Is not believing in a deity different today than it was in the past? Nice promo. Posted by Poirot, Sunday, 10 June 2012 10:27:28 AM

Maybe check your dates for Easter in the year 2012.
And I assume you have a point to make even though you missed by a week.
