This group is for all of the atheist/agnostics (whatever you would like to think of yourself as) this side of the Puget Sound. This is a group for open minded people to get together at a coffee shop (after all this IS Washington), pub or restaurant and talk about their views of the world, recent news, philosophy, or whatever their cup of tea (or coffee) happens to be. This is also a group for atheists/agnostics who just want to be around other atheists/agnostics for a little while because they s …

I wanted to unite like and un-like minded individuals—or, at least, individuals who share an intrigue for riveting, intense, sometimes argumentative philosophical discussion.  I invite anyone else who shares an interest or knowledge for ideas relating to philosophy, skepticism, theology, atheism, Christianity, logic, creationism or science. Controversial dialectics are always welcome and polarity of view-points is encouraged. While I tend to be open-minded, I have my limits.  I have a distinct a …

Freethinkers, humanists, skeptics, agnostics, atheist and all non-believers are welcome! A meeting of minds where we can share ideas, ask questions, teach, learn and grow, benefiting from each others life stories and thoughts. Our meetings are very informal and friendly.  We meet at least once a month but we also have other gatherings throughout the year.  In addition, we are in contact with other freethought groups in the Seattle/Tacoma area and we enjoy going to their events as well.  There is …

The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …

Analytic philosophy is, by far, the standard type of philosophy taught in Philosophy Departments throughout North America, Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond. Analytic philosophers aim for perspicuity and results. Core areas of analytic philosophy include ethics, epistemology (knowledge), metaphysics (e.g., free will, theism/atheism), philosophy of mind (e.g., consciousness), philosophy of science, and political philosophy. However, this group will discuss the lighter topics and presume little or …

This is a gathering of like-minded folks in the Seattle area who are passionate readers of the author and thinker C.S. Lewis. The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, the Chronicles of Narnia, Perelandra, the list goes on and on of works that have already become heritage classics in religious philosophy and Christian thought (not to mention a few that have been overlooked!). In a desire to explore his books and his world, Narnian or otherwise, we're attempting to focus on one book for each time …

This group is for people who like to mix philosophical discourse and drinking. If you're looking for carefully moderated debate, look elsewhere. These discussions are unstructured intellectual free-for-alls - the only two constants are booze and a keen interest in the nature of reality and human existence. We take philosophy very seriously, but we don't think taking it seriously demands that you act like an academic when discussing it. No formal training is necessary -  no one will be expected …

From http://www.venganza.org: By design, the only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the rejection of dogma. That is, there are no strict rules and regulations, there are no rote rituals and prayers and other nonsense. Every member has a say in what this church is and what it becomes. To outsiders it makes us hard to define, but here are some general things that can be said about our beliefs: We believe pirates, the original Pastafarians, were peaceful explorers and …

Welcome: We are a bunch of freethinkers who meet monthly on the Eastside, usually at my home, for discussion, friendly debate, movies, and fun.  All opinions are respected. Liberal versus conservative? No problem. Even theists and creationists are welcome as long as they do not mind being challenged.
