Glasgow Humanists local group meeting shows a room set-up theatre style with rows of people listening to a guest speaker

The Apologists’ Paradox: A Burning Question (Glasgow)

Date: Sunday 10th May   /   Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm

Join us for our next Glasgow Humanists meeting, open to all – Humanist Society Scotland members, supporters and anyone who shares humanist values! This month’s meeting will feature guest speaker and author Grant Dallas, as well as updates on the society’s recent activities. After the meeting there’s an optional social in the pub, which you are also welcome to attend.

The speaker will be discussing their recently published book The Apologists’ Paradox: A Burning Question. It broadly makes the argument that the claims of traditional religious apologism (i.e. those which seek to set out rigorous arguments as to why a given religion should be believed) paradoxically refute themselves, in so far as ‘​if they followed the rationale of their own arguments to a logical conclusion, they would see that the greatest service they could render would be to abandon the very foundations they defend’.

Hosted by Glasgow Humanists in Garnethill Multicultural Centre on Sunday 10th May at 2pm, for a 2.30pm start.
