Sydney’s Philosophy in the Café - Philo Agora.

A fortnightly exchange of ideas on the issues facing ourselves and our world within a philosophical format. A talk relating to a philosopher, philosophy or philosophical theme.

We meet at the Fair Trade Coffee Company, 33 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, at 7.30pm on alternate Tuesdays.

Tuesday, August 25, Chris Pennington on "Heaven is an ineffectual reward."

Chris notes the many conflicting descriptions of Heaven in the Bible, the Koran, and other writings, and wonders what it might be like.  He finally concludes that it would not be at all interesting, especially if you are stuck there for all eternity. It may even be a little dangerous

Chris is the General Manager of an IT company with a strong interest in Heaven.  His book on this topic can be found at www.heavenmustbehell.com.
