Last fall I came across some articles about the growing belief of atheism on the ISU campus.

This group has held “Blasphemy Days,” and challenged Tom Short but without success.

I have contacted ISU Atheist and Agnostics several times, asking for the possibly of debate on the existence of God.

The only response I received is that I would receive proper contact later, after holiday break.

We are rapidly approaching the beginning of March and I still have not heard back.

I write because I think it interesting that your students want to hold Blasphemy Days and challenge those who will not debate.

However, when an actual acceptance of the challenge appears, these atheists are nowhere to be found.

Maybe you can say something in your paper about this matter.

There is an unaccepted challenge to debate the existence of God, but this group will not debate.

Where are the defenders of the “free thinkers?” Lost in free thought?
