We are a niche group indeed. Right leaning (OBJECTIVIST?) atheist/deist/non-theists? Who knew? Membership and meet-up info is confidential--no photos are required. We will meet in the Clemson/Central/Easley area for coffee or happy hours in neutral settings, nothing formal until we knit together. This is NOT a home for militant, never-had-faith Liberal atheists! There are plenty of great groups for those types--and I belong to a few and I love my atheist friends deeply. BUT>>> this is a safe, co …

An eclectic group of couples or singles, any age is welcome, who share a love of casual bike rides on the new Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville.

Bike rides can be a few people or larger groups, and can even be during the week for those of us with flexible schedules. As friendships grow, we …

We must first do all we can to avert the calamity, but should these efforts prove fruitless, we must be ready to lead and serve in the aftermath. We must ensure that when the dust …
