Unless each of us makes a commitment and becomes somewhat of an activist, we may find our liberties curtailed. Science over superstition. ”

“ Nashville can be a lonely city for open minded people. I experience this group to be a diverse mix of bright individuals who have truly searched their souls to sort truth from dogma. Most of the people I have met so far grew up in a Christian tradition but eventually found the politics of the church to be empty and absent reason. Discussions on relevant topics have been respectful. The group seems to value morality and integrity without being shaming and judgmental. ”
