We are looking for kind, friendly and open-minded people who seek to actively improve themselves, their moral character and the world. In our meetings we will discuss ways that we can mutually help each other become better people and be more engaged in improving our communities. This is not a religious organization.
The concept of evil is limited to our human understanding of the concept. Perhaps the ultimate evil to exist would have to be non-human, some sentient being divorced of such attributes as empathy and compassion.
