If all you thought and believed about God was true … suddenly lost ALL value, what would you do? Since his last visit, Marc Mullinax has been “kicking the tires” of Atheism, and will speak about personal and existential questions about the power – and limits – of belief, in a talk entitled “Is there ANYBODY out there?”
Marc is professor of religion at Mars Hill University, who finds fertilizer here at UUFH for some of his most creative ideas, including a book project. Over the last 20 years, he’s been a guest speaker here more than 20 times. The friends he’s made, the experiences he’s had here, makes UUFH his second spiritual home.
