Greta Christina: “Atheism and Sexual Ethics”
SFU Skeptics and Out on Campus are proud to host Greta Christina at SFU on Thursday, September the 9th. The acclaimed writer, lecturer, and activist will be giving her lecture "Atheism and Sexual Ethics":
"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?"
For
twenty years Greta has been an activist both on behalf of the atheist
movement and the LGBT movement, and has gained rare insight into the
relationship between the two.
Greta will also be presenting "Diversity in the Atheist Movement" later that night at UBC, in WOOD 3, at 7:00 pm.
