"I'm constantly amazed at how good looking and intelligent we all are. Even before the drinking starts."
"As an agnostic, I think people should give this group a try and see how they like it, but I can only be so "forward" about it. ;^)"
"Great group of folks - some new people joined. Wonderful event."
"Had a great time ... let's have some additional, smaller get-togethers, too!"
"If you are like me, you have wished to be around others who dare to ask questions about god and beliefs. There are many more like you."
"Don't buy the BS? Come have a beer with us, we don't either!"
"I'm very excited about this group. There is a wonderfully diverse membership, and we just keep growing!"
"It's so nice to have conversations with people about a variety of topics and not have to worry about offending someone's religious sensibilities. It's so refreshing."
"I thought it was an excellent time, and there's a great group together that I've seen so far. If we can take that dynamic and turn it into action, then the fundamentalist establishment had better keep on their toes."
"You were all so fun! I can't wait for for our next meeting!!"
"People I met were great and very interesting to talk with. Thank You!"
"Educated."
