Most debates between Christians and Atheists are either highly philosophical ("What made existence come into existence?", "What triggered the Big Bang?", "Can we ever prove/disprove the existence of God?") or articulated around scientific inconsistencies in the Bible (miracles, as Christians would argue,) - In my experience though, these debates don't lead anywhere. In this Mee …

Aww. Couldn't get into the Glasgow Book Group? Join us instead. We're inferior to them in every way. Firstly, we choose our books around themes, encouraging our members to bring exciting new work to our attention and turn us on to all sorts of printed delights.

We like cardigans, snot-covered tracksuits and the work o …

This group is for anyone interested in reading and discussing great books. We'll mostly read contemporary fiction, but a few classics and non-fiction titles will probably appear on our bookshelf too.
