Atheist Meeting, Hold The Pancakes

The Meetup.com group for Atheists in Orange County is meeting this week, Thursday, at 7PM at the Starbucks in the Orange Circle (the one that used to be a Diedrich, not the one that's also a Wells Fargo). More information is available here. This group's smaller than Orange County Atheists, but good people attend, too. I might even stop by!

Public Talk: "Religion vs. Self-Esteem"

Mark sends this on:

What: Public Talk: "Religion vs. Self-Esteem"
When: Wednesday, November 7, 2007, 7:30pm (room open from 6:30pm)
Where: Hilton Costa Mesa, 3050 Bristol St, Costa Mesa
Who: Sponsored by the Ayn Rand Institute

From the Website:

"Religion is almost universally regarded as crucial to achieving happiness. Even critics of religion often concede that it helps people live more fulfilling lives. In this talk, Dr. Edwin A. Locke, Dean's Professor (Emeritus) of Motivation and Leadership at the R.H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park, argues that, far from being a means to a successful life, religion is incompatible with a basic need of human life: self-esteem."
