If you don't believe in any supernatural deity or paranormal ability this group is for you. We meet once a month in Villa Park (next to Orange) in Orange County, CA on the forth Wednesday and Thursday (alternating). We also have many other events - usually at least once a week such as field trips, movie night and Irish pub nights. Our meetings are in o …
This group is for skeptics of all types. You might say a skeptic is one who is an evidential truth-seeker. One who knows what his/her reality is by the evidence presented to them. One who inquirers about everything, but accepts the most reasonable explanation based on science and falsifiable claims. There is no topic a true skeptic will not approach, and the topic of religion is one of those. This group is NOT for those who say “I know for sure that I am right, that my religion is one true r …

Inspired by Christopher Phillips' books, scores of people are meeting for these modern version of Socratic dialogue. These are intended to be group conversations which often move in a spiral, touching on topics in ways that may not be obvious at first. Our purpose is to bring back thoughtful dialogue in counterpoint to the shouting pundits of so-called debate on TV and radio. One need not be an academic or expert. We seek diversity of thought from people from all walks of life. ALL ARE WELCOME. …

While we must give credit to Ann Coulter for popularizing the phrase "Godless Liberal", we are quite different from her. We’re a thoughtful bunch of red blooded Americans who live at the crossroads of science and compassion. PLEASE NOTE: We are …

Do we survive death? Can the dead communicate with the living? Can we, the living, communicate back? These are important spiritual questions; however, they are questions that are just as important to science and our knowledge of the the universe we live in. For as long as mankind has existed, people from all walks of life, all levels of belief and all levels of education have reported experiencing "something" spiritual. While modern day skeptics and scientists dismiss such notions as delusional …
