Doubters' Club Discussion: What needs to happen to bring this country together?
Details
There is common and widespread agreement that the United States is minus the "united". Red states vs. blue states. Conservatives vs. liberals. Theists vs. atheists. The result are destruction of property, the violence of opposing representatives, and the progress of regression. The discourse is past its boiling point and the temperature is at its 'tippy top' in a long time, leading to broken friendships, separated families, and a detached society.

Remember:
The Doubters Club is where theists and atheists, gnostics and agnostics, and people of many more different perspectives can gather for discussion in pursuit of truth while nurturing friendships. Naturally, topics can be controversial and intense. In order to maintain proper and productive discourse, The Five Rules are in effect:
1. We will be respectful to each other.
2. We will listen to understand.
3. We will speak in moderation.
4. We will accept differences of opinion.
5. We are a safe place
The sequence of events include
- personal introductions,
- co-moderators conversation,
- open group exchange,
- then election for the next event's topic.
We routinely meet on the first Saturday of the month,
at Union Coffee -- 3705 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas, TX, 75219.
