The need for critical thinking skills and a humanistic outlook in our world is great. This is no less true in the Black community than in others. Many African Americans have been engulfed by religious irrationality, conned by self-serving "faith healers", and swayed by dogmatic revisionist historians. Many others, however, have escaped the oppression of such delusions, and live happy and upstanding lives free of superstition. African Americans for Humanism DC (AAH DC) exists to bring these secul …

This group is for people who have a spiritual interest and want to figure out who Jesus is. At our meet-ups, we'll look at what Jesus did and actually said through an inductive bible study and find ways to reach out to our immediate community. The atmosphere will be relaxed; discussion and questions are encouraged. I don't claim to have all the answers, I just want to create a space to discover Jesus.

The goal of this group is to be a safe place where post-modern people of all faiths can share their questions, struggles and doubts with other folks seeking to find a way of life that is true to their faith and their philosophy.

Hope there are others that enjoy reading a wide variety and range of topics that explore our physical, metaphysical and perhaps even pseudo-physical philosophies and theories. I'v …

According to Cicero (Tusculan Disputations V, III, 8), when Pythagoras was once asked who philosophers were, he replied that life seemed to him to resemble the games in the Olympic festival: some men sought glory, others to buy and sell at the games, and some men had come neither for gain nor applause, but for the sake of the spectacle and to understand what was done and how it was done. In the same way, in life, some are slaves of ambition or money, but others are interested in understanding li …
