This group was created to bring Atheists together to read and discuss books of interest.

Delta PaLS (Play and Learn Social) Group was founded in the summer of 2009 by four friends: Teresa, Tina, Karesa and Debi. They met through a local Moms' Group where their children had spent countless hours playing together.  As their children became more active and more curious about the world around them, they began discussing how they could encourage their desire to discover and enhance their learning environment. They also felt it important to create a group of active families who all knew a …

This group is for people who are inactive, disfellowshipped, disassociated, have doubts, or seek to get out of the organization. It is a place of support for people who have been impacted by their or their significant other's involvement with Jehovah's Witnesses. It is very difficult if not impossible for "worldly" people to understand the challenges that go along with having been part of this religion and then wanting to leave. The purpose of this group is to use our shared experiences to enco …

In the opening words to the preface of the first edition of Critique of Pure Reason, Kant says that our reason burdens us with questions we cannot ignore, but questions we also cannot answer. That's pretty much Philosophy, isn't it? It's got us thinking about those big questions of the universe beyond the reaches of our ability to know the answers with any kind of certainty. Does Philosophy help us better understand the world? Do we think better after studying Philosophy? Did you ever find yours …

Is sharing your religious, spiritual and philosophic ideas, face …

Who are we? We are Muslims of varying degrees of religiousness: Some of us are practicing Muslims who simply want to take a more objective look at our teachings. Some of us want to discuss certain tenets of our faith that don’t sit well. Some of us have come to the realization that organized religion isn’t for us and want to discuss why. In a nutshell, we're a group of ex-muslims, progressive Muslims, LGBTQ Muslims, etc, hence the name muslim-ish. We're not the typical "mainstream" muslims, so d …
