Greta Christina - Sex & Atheism
Start: 6:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

 
Event by the Pikes Peak Skeptics Society.
Popular blogger Greta Christina will be at UCCS to give a talk on "Sex and Atheism".
The sexual morality of traditional religion tends to be based, not on solid ethical principles, but on a set of taboos about what kinds of sex God does and doesn't want people to have. And while the sex-positive community offers a more thoughtful view of sexual morality, it still often frames sexuality as positive by seeing it as a spiritual experience. What are some atheist alternatives to these views? How can atheists view sexual ethics without a belief in God? And how can atheists view sexual transcendence without a belief in the supernatural?
There will be a Q&A and book signing following the talk.
We will meet in the University Center (UC), Room 116. The university center is on the east side of the building that also houses the library. (Look for the building with the clocktower.)
UCCS Campus Map
UCCS has provided free parking for this event in Lot 1, which is normally an hourly pay lot. (Please see map for location.) Lot 1 requires a short walk to the event's location. Parking in other lots will result in a $20 ticket.
If Lot 1 is full, you may also find free parking at "Four Diamonds", which is located off of Nevada near Austin Bluffs. See map here. UCCS provides a shuttle from Four Diamonds to the UCCS campus. The campus shuttle stop is near the event location. Please give yourself at least 20 minutes to get from Four Diamonds to the UCCS campus, as bus schedules vary.
Paid parking is also available for $1.75/hr in the parking garage. Please park in numbered stalls and then proceed to a pay station located near the stairs.

March 16: March in the St. Patrick's Day Parade!
Start: 11:00 am
End: 4:00 pm

 

Freethinkers of Colorado Springs Float in the St. Patrick's Day Parade
March 16, 2013   11:00 AM
Colorado Springs
 
We'll be pulling a float and marching while passing out candy in the 2013 St. Patrick's Day parade! This is a huge opportunity to showcase freethought in Colorado Springs and get our message seen by thousands while participating in a wholesome family event.
We will be on the southwest corner of Dale st. and Tejon st. We cannot set up and get organized until 11 (after the races) and the parade starts at noon. Parking, as it is every year, will be problematic due to reserved float setup areas and road closures. Be prepared to walk a bit to get there, and consider the school clubs that let you park in a school parking lot for a small donation to a worthy cause.
Please wear green and/or attire that represents your freethinking stances. We already have our allotment of signs covered.
If you'd like to participate in the last minute phases of the float construction and preparation for the event (and get a sneak peak at our float), get in touch with Michael Clifton or Lisa Noon. That will be 5pm on the 15th.
KIDS ARE WELCOME!!! (The rules state that kids who cannot keep up with the parade must be in the float)

Student Center
1420 Austin Bluffs Parkway
Meeting Room 307*
 

 
The monthly meeting for March is hosted jointly by Freethinkers of Colorado Springs and the Secular Student Alliance at UCCS.  
We’ve heard a lot about the Evangelical Right’s culture war in America. Trying to get fundamentalist Bible clubs like The Good News Club into our schools. Fighting against same-sex marriage legalization around the country. Waging a war on women’s rights. Attacking evolution, climate initiatives, and sound science. We have tremendous secular political advocacy groups trying to fight the governmental and legal influence of the Evangelical Right every day.
