About me:
Central Valley Alliance of Atheists and Skeptics
It can be pretty lonely for a rational thinker, skeptic or non-believer living in California's South to Central Valley. Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Bay Area and Sacramento all have well defined Atheist, Freethought, and Secular Humanist communities – but from Bakersfield to Stockton it often feels as if religion dominates and pseudoscience flourishes.
But that's not true. As Christopher Hitchens noted during his “God is Not Great” book tour, every time he gave a talk in a new city, half of the people who attended his talks thought they were the only Atheists in town. This is also true in the Central Valley.
About CVAAS
The Central Valley Alliance of Atheists and Skeptics includes those who do not see a need to resort to the supernatural in order to discover meaning in life. We believe that human rights and ethical questions are best examined from a human perspective, and that morality makes better sense when it is based upon empathy and sympathy for others instead of being based on blind religious dogma. We believe fringe and pseudo scientific claims should be examined through the lens of objective scientific inquiry.
Our Purpose:
The Central Valley Alliance of Atheists and Skeptics is formed as a nonprofit educational association focused on the population of the California Central Valley in order to promote secular viewpoints in public discourse, educate the public on the use of rational scientific inquiry and positive secular philosophy, promote the First Amendment guarantee of separation of state and church, urge camaraderie among the secular community and their supporters, and encourage joining or forming affiliated non-theistic organizations.

Jesus was drinking a beer that day... He's usually more of a Pinot Noir or merlot kinda guy... But best not to encourage the wine thing at a party, otherwise everybody comes running up with their bottles of Aquafina saying, "Oh oh!! Do mine too!!"

"Atheist" - This video received the award for "Excellence in Humanist Communications" from the Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy. It is an insightful and powerful defense of atheists.

Now, I know all of this is because of the Calladus blog, but still...
Who would have thought that the day would come when the world could "google image" the words:

And a picture of YOUR actual brat kid sister shows up?!?!?!
AND it's the SECOND ONE!!

Upcoming events include a debate featuring Michael Shermer on the 18th, a nature hike on the 27th, and the monthly "movie night" on the 26th.
We are organizing with like-minded groups around the valley, from as far away as Bakersfield and Modesto, in order to bring quality future events.
I hope you'll become a member.
And don't forget to check out our official site at www. cvaas. org.

I would love to meet some more like minded people so I don't feel so much like an outsider! I hope to get to know some of you better! Have a great day!
