I couldn't get tickets to see the actual debate at Massey Hall in Toronto so I'm doing the next best thing by going to the
All the cool people will be there (wearing WiFi radiation protection).
Starts: Friday, November 26th 2010 at 7:00 pm
Ends: Friday, November 26th 2010 at 9:00 pm
Location: Centre for Inquiry, 216 Beverley Street (just south of College and St. George)
Since the debate between well-known atheist and author Christopher Hitchens and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair sold out we will be screening the live video stream of the event at CFI Ontario.
In a world of globalization and rapid social change does religion provide the common values and ethical foundations that diverse societies need to thrive in the 21st century? Or, do deeply held religious beliefs promote intolerance, exacerbate ethnic divisions, and impede social progress in developing and developed nations alike? To encourage a far-ranging discussion on one of human kind's most vexing questions, the 6th semi-annual Munk Debate will tackle the resolution: be it resolved, religion is a force for good in the world.
$5, $4 for students and FREE for CFI Members.
Attendees are invited to stay after the debate to enjoy some food and drinks while they discuss who they thought won the debate!
$3 Beer!
