If you can't accept answers to lifes big questions based on faith alone, you might be one of us!
The Humanist Association of Tulsa aspires to serve as a social network for those who stand up for reason and kindness toward their fellow man. Please read our statement of principles:HERE. (They are wonderful principles.) Purposes for our existence include (1) to provide an opportunity for humanists in the Tulsa area to get together to enjoy fellowship with one another. (2) to learn together from shared educational experiences, and (3) to acquaint others with freethought and the humanist philosophy. We have several Humanist activities every month. Members attend those activities in which they have an interest. We realize that everyone has real life obligations. There is never required attendance. (For those who would like to actively push back against bigoted religious nonsense, many of our members are also active in the Freedom From Religion Foundation.)
Indeed, we know enough at this moment to say that the God of Abraham is not only unworthy of the immensity of creation; he is unworthy even of man. Sam Harris: End of Faith

Planning to show 'Creation' but we usually decide by concensus.
Paul Bettany stars as Charles Darwin in this BBC biographical drama that captures the legendary scientist in a period of intense mourning -- and expansive intellectual discovery -- following the untimely death of his young daughter, Annie. As Darwin dares to question the existence of God, he pens his groundbreaking tome, On the Origin of Species -- much to the chagrin of his religious wife, Emma ( Jennifer Connelly ).
