Human Nature, Rights, and Collective Moral Authority

Do we have rights by nature, or only because a group grants them? Join us for an interactive discussion that tests that question through food, property, speech, and liberty — building to one of history's hardest cases. Mike leads the discussion.

This will be an in-person meeting in Central Austin. Please email doncastig@gmail.com for the location details. Please put "AHC meeting location" in the email subject.

Follow us on Facebook (Austin Humanist Community) or at austinhumanist.org

Typical attendance 10-15 humanists.

Please note: Atheists, agnostics, skeptics, free-thinkers, questioning, and believers - whatever you like to call yourselves, you are welcome here.
At AHC we call ourselves secular humanists because you will never hear anything supernatural promoted from the podium. AHC was founded on the principles of scientific naturalism and secular ethics, which commits us, on the one hand, to reason and evidence-based thinking, and, on the other, to compassion for our fellow human beings.
These commitments motivate us to oppose magical and wishful thinking and all forms of dogma, as well as to stand firmly against all forms of oppression.
