DESCRIPTION:This month East Bay Atheists features a young atheist organizer who is 
 considered one of atheism’s most brilliant speakers, and that is why we 
 are flying him in from Columbus, Ohio to speak to you.\n\nJT Eberhard is a 
 full time organizer for the Secular Student Alliance and co-founder of the 
 Skepticon convention. “Coming Out Skeptical” addresses the need for 
 atheists to come out of the closet and to not merely focus on their 
 atheism, but on the human obligation to be reasonable. This talk has been 
 given to standing ovations at the American Atheists National Convention, 
 Dragon*Con, and elsewhere.\n\nEberhard will make arguments drawn from 
 history, philosophy, and current events for why a better world is dependent 
 on our ability to be candid with others about the reliability of their 
 beliefs, as well as our ability to be forthright about our own.\n\nEd 
 Buckner, the former president of American Atheists, described JT’s talk 
 at the Des Moines convention as “being present at the inauguration of a 
 new Atheist star.”\n\nOur own Greta Christina’s take on JT: “As a 
 writer, JT Eberhard is smart, funny, honest, and totally fearless. As an 
 organizer, he is passionate, dedicated, inspired, and as determined as a 
 bulldog. And as a speaker, he tears the roof off the sucker. We are 
 insanely lucky to have him on our side.”\n\nDon’t miss this one, and 
 the discussion afterwards.\n\nThen we will go to dinner at King Dong 
 Restaurant, 2429 Shattuck Ave. (near Haste) in Berkeley. Please join 
 us.\n\nTo RSVP on Meetup, click here.\n\nWhen: Saturday, October 8th, 1:30 
 - 3:30 PM\n\nLocation: Berkeley Main Library, 3rd Floor Meeting Room, 2090 
 Kittredge St., One Block From Downtown Berkeley BART\n\nBART Access: From 
 the downtown Berkeley BART Station, walk 1.5 blocks south on Shattuck 
 Avenue, then turn right on Kittredge. The library is a half block down the 
 street on the left.\n\nParking: The city parking lot at Allston & Harold 
 Way, a short block from the library, is $5 for the entire day on Sunday. If 
 you don’t mind walking, take University to MLK, turn right and then 
 instead of proceeding left on Allston to the parking lot, turn right. In 
 several blocks you will see parking on the side streets.\n\nInformation:
