Fiction for Fiction
Where: CL50
When: April 14, 2009 10:00am-4:30pm

Join us outside CL50 for Fiction for Fiction! Bring any religious text and trade it in for a great fiction novel. Examples of religious texts include (but are not limited to) the Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Dianetics, Five Classics, Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Hebrew Bible, Koran, Satanic Bible, Tao-te-ching, Torah, Vedas, etc. Pocket sizes are fine too.

We hope to get this general message across to as many people as possible: While religious texts may give some moral guidance, that doesn't mean every word they contain is necessarily true. Morals and insight into human life can be taken from nearly any fiction novel. You have to critically think about what you're reading and not just take it at face value, or how someone is telling you that you should understand it. Question what you read and what you are told, and come to your own conclusions about what is true.

We have a wide range of classics and recently popular books, from Tom Clancy to Shakespeare, and sci-fi to romance. They're all used, but in fairly good condition.And just as a disclaimer, we will not burn or defile any of the religious texts that are turned into our group. They will be kept for our personal library so members can learn about various religions.
