Bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia and the like are terms that can broadly be categorized under the umbrella, prejudice.

What does it mean to be prejudiced and who is prejudiced? Is it prejudice to be intolerant of certain behaviors? Scott and Jamie tackle this volatile topic head on flushing out each other‘s perspectives, highlighting some areas of difference and asking the tough questions.

In their first installment of the "God or Not Book Club", Scott and Jamie discuss Sections I & II (pages 1 - 62) of "Sense and Goodness Without God: A Defense of Metaphysical Naturalism" by Richard Carrier. For the next installment, they will cover parts 1 - 5 of Section III (pages 63 - 134). You may contribute to the discussion by submitting your comments by 1/28/20.

As further study Scott recommends the book “The Better Angels of our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined” by Steven Pinker, and Jamie recommends the book “The Four Loves” by C.S. Lewis.
