Genesis 19:4-5 “And the three angels of Yawheh reached Sodom and Gomorrah, upon which they took shelter amongst the dwelling of Abraham’s nephew, Lot. The angels revealed unto Lot that they came to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah to rid the world of the grave sins found within. Finding Lot and his begotten to be righteous, the angels warned Lot of the impending doom, and said unto him ‘Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.’”

Filipino atheists and agnostics to have first ever convention

If you don’t already know, the Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society (PATAS) was founded February 11, 2001. It aims to bring about critical thinking, free-thought and scientific inquiry to a country that has been bound to religious tradition and dogma for so long. After a very successful year of recruitment and social action, PATAS is ready to hold their first atheists and agnostics convention, the first in the Philippines. The event will be held April 21 of this year at the Bayview Park Hotel in Manila.

Speakers lined up for the event include:

Dan Barker - Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) founder/CEO, ex-pastor,  Global Atheist Convention speaker
