“ It is so hard to talk to people who believe in mythology that is over 2000 years old. I like spirited discussions with open minded people, and theists are anything but. ”

“ I would like to make friends within the areas of my interests, and expand my knowledge and understanding of various subjects. ”

“ I'm fairly new to the area. Graduated from connecticut college last year as a philosophy major and almost a religion minor. I also have been studying and practicing buddhism as well as other forms of spiritualty. I would love to meet people and chat ”

“ Just looking to win friends and influence people who have similar interests. Don't be shy: give me a shout! ”

“ I want these local Meetups because I want to meet more people who share my views on evolution. I believe that humanists and atheists must be more visible in society to counter the voice of the religious right. ”

“ Nice a combat sports meetup! Used to compete in NHBeventslike 3 years and 50 lbs ago! ”

“ I want local Cultural Creatives Meetups because the book about Cultural Creatives by Paul Ray explained to me how we created the situation we are in and it also shed light on how we collectively can move toward more conscious community building. ”

“ Hi, I hope this group will be interesting. I majored in philosophy in college, and am looking forward to some good discussions. ”
