After belonging to other reading groups with much younger members I have come to realize that my life experiences and theirs are vastly different. Being separated by several generations means you will have a very different take on the books you read. That would be fine if the younger people were open-minded enough to consider that I may know what I'm talking about when discussing housewives from the 50's. After all, my mother was one of them. But they did not do that. They simply fed me the pa …

Yes, this club is for non-readers who wish they could read more, but enjoy books nonetheless. Life is busy but if the topics are of interest to you, join us for discussion. I select a book each from one of 5 or so topics each moth, and discuss intersections in thought, and how these books can help us make our lives better in real ways. This book club is also for the veracious reader, only satisfied when engaged in the pursuit of knowledge. A mind can be enlightened with the synthesis of diverse …

Ever feel like dating is a single-elimination tournament? Tried online dating only to find your catch was a 'catch and release'? Or maybe you've found yourself (much to your dismay) being an online stalker who constantly checks to see if your latest love interest is online. Ever told someone you'd call them when you had no intention to? Don't understand why you haven't heard from him/her when it seemed to go so well? In all of these cases, emotions play a vital role in your success - or failure …

Part of the Reasons to Believe Mission Statement is "science and faith are, and always will be, allies, not enemies." We seek to use nature's wonders to point to the Creator as we affirm orthodox Christianity (click here for our faith statement). RTB Atlanta meets monthly on the last Thursday of the month. We explore the relation of science and the observation of nature to orthodox Christian faith.  We start with a presentation and schedule time for open discussion and questions. Our meetings ar …

I chose "Creating Love" as our first book and inspiration for this meetup when I heard Oprah interviewing the author recently. Future book ideas can be anything of interest to the group that allows us to grow and become more of the types of people that we want to become. After all, we are all still works in progress.  This group is open to anyone wanting to know themselves and others better.  The only requirement:   an open, non-judgmental heart.

This is a group for everyone interested in discussing big ideas in a forum open to a wide range of perspectives, attitudes, opinions, and beliefs. We'll choose topics in philosophy, politics, religion, and other categories typically considered taboo outside homogeneous gatherings. Meetups will start with a short video presenting a premise (< 20 min., e.g. TED.com), followed by a lively round table discussion. Arguing is strongly encouraged, but civility is always required. In other words, we'd l …
