Of course, people of all backgrounds, genders, ages, sexual orientations, races, and even religions are welcome. There is …

Welcome! This group is for people interested in reading and discussing philosophy, theology, their intersections, and their divergences. This group is open to people with or without a background in philosophy or theology.
