Whether you are skeptical about the paranormal, superstition, the supernatural, pseudoscience, or any other form of "woo" we would love to meet you. Skeptics are people who ask questions. They inquire. They don't believe something just because everybody else does. They investigate. Not to be confused with denialism--our goal is to find the facts and discuss them; not to deny reality because we don't like it. Everyone is skeptical. Some of us require more convincing evidence than others. If you …

We are a group dedicated to furthering our own spiritual and philosophical wisdom through productive and open discussions. We would like to keep this group exclusive to local, young (ages 25-40) singles, because we believe that spiritual interests are an important part of many romantic relationships, and that this may provide an opportunity for people with similar interests to meet. However, this is not a ‘hook-up’ or even specifically a dating type of group – the main focus will still be person …

Worker-employee ownership avoids the problems of both but it has practical challenges of its own. This meetup is for everyone that wants to know more about this alternative as well as those who have started or want …

Useful thinking can just be borne by the things you now, you believe and can use as your opportunities arrive. Our person must maintain its sovereign rights which you just can do if you know who you represent in the system. If you have a critical point of view which way this country goes than we have a lot to learn. The metaphor people trying to communicate it via their own controlled media has no merits to make you go directions of Freedom.

We'll have lunch or supper and we'll talk about Brights, Separation of Church & State; Secular Humansim; Evolution; Rational Thought and Skeptical Thinking; Atheism.
