What we’re about

Come Read Nietzsche with me and a few others. Nietzsche was the 19th century German philosopher who declared that, "God is dead." He tried to lay out a vision of a world that could no longer find belief in God to be plausible, and therefore sought to reexamine all morals in light of God's demise. We are a friendly group of Christians, atheists, and other belief systems who discuss and debate in a non-threatening setting. We read about 20-30 pages each week.
We will read Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (The Cambridge University Press edition), which can be accessed here, or purchased on Amazon.
