Religiousforums gathering

[Mr Spinkles]

We should have a big religiousforums gathering someday! We could like all go to some hotel and have a big dinner and meet and everything. How cool would that be?

 

[Lightkeeper]

Look at my thread "A Question of God" in Comparative Religion. I was thinking the same thing you are thinking tonight. I told you I had ESP. Anyway, I thought about us doing a TV program. This group consisting of several different religions and ages discussing the same things we discuss here. I started thinking about maybe doing a Public TV program here in Seattle. We have access to a channel for programming.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

In answer to the question "How cool would that be?" I answer with a resounding "Very!" I also like Lightkeepers' idea of a public TV program, though there might be some caution used in keeping the higher-tempered forum members away from each other. That is, unless we want to follow it up with a wrestling show afterward!

 

[Rex]

bwahaha.

I'm sure we could so something at some point. TV would be fun!

 

[Runt]

Haha, I just said the same thing on another thread about meeting! A tv thing would be fun too, thought it would have to be organized somehow (focusing on a single topic... oh crap, how would WE manage that, lol?)

 

[Pah]

Rather than a debate, perhaps an interview format with someone already established on the public TV forum - not to agrue a point but to advertise how nice we are!!!

Yea - we could pull a number out of a hat (between 1 and 42,000) - then find the accompanying topic for discussion!!!:sarcastic

Seriously - I'm all for a big get together, but I would suggest that we try to time it so that when Bastet comes in from Australia - then she could be included as well. From what I see in the profiles, it looks like the Cincinnati area is pretty central to many of us. If nothing else, we could have a mini-meet for those of us within an hour or two drive.

If we set it up ahead of time, maybe more of us could fly to a given destination (I would suggest Las Vegas ).

No, no, mud wrestling!

Heheh, us organized? Oh look, flying pigs...and d'you know what? We'd probably end up debating about those pigs. They evolved wings! They were created with wings! No, you idiots, they're just a figment of your imagination! They exist! They don't!...and so on.

I think we really all must have developed some strange form of neurological linkage. A while back, I had a dream that we had a huge weekend long convention at a hotel in New York, and met each other, etc. As far as a real get together goes, I'm all for Cincinnati--that's only an hour away for me. Of course, I'd be willing to travel long distances.

I really like this TV idea though--I think it would be a big hit! I mean, watching two people debate on an issue that you care about, is very interesting to a lot of people I think. If you think about it, there really isn't any show like it out there--well, except for political shows, but nothing allowing real people to discuss numerous topics. Especially If we could include the audience somehow, such as allowing them to call in or perhaps even appear on the show. Since we're spread all over the country we could even have numerous versions of the show running at the same time (Such as one hosted by Lightkeeper in Seattle, and one hosted by Rex in LA). Who knows? Maybe someday it would become big enough to reach national broadcast.....cool! All I know is, I'm in!

 

[Lightkeeper]

I was thinking of a round table discussion. Several people of different religions and views, discussing various topics, just like we do here.

 

[Linus]

That would have to be a very big table...

But anyway, yeah, I would go for it. Whatever format it ends up in, I'm in. It would be very interesting to meet all of you and see how you all debate in person.

 

[Lightkeeper]

We could call it "Clear Eye for the Seeking Guy." Maybe Visine would sponsor it.


Another possible format would be Radio. Rex could broadcast from LA and we could be on conference call phones. Each week has specific topics and these are discussed from the different angles. I'm not talking debate. I think everyone is seeking and would love to hear different viewpoints.

That's a great idea Lightkeeper!

 

[meogi]

I'd be up for it. If... I wasn't in Japan till late next june...

And it doesn't exactly relate to the underage girl thread, but what exactly would you tell everyone else? "Yea... I'm, uh, flying to LA. To hang out with some people... from a message board... where we debate religions to the point of mudslinging... no worries."

Lol, to save yourself from sounding like a COMPLETE nerd, you might want to come up with something other than "I'm going to debate about religion".

Depending on the circumstances, I suppose I would tell my mother that I'm spending the weekend with my friend at her lake house...oh gosh, I'm going to hell aren't I? Oh well--what mama don't know, can't hurt her!

I know, I know!!! You could tell anyone that asks that you will be out of town for a few days while you help teach little children about morals!

Most of us could use the help.

Good one, VOR!

I was just thinking--if we really got this thing going, it would be cool to make it annual, you know?
