"Amateur" is not an insult. An amateur astronomer is someone who learns the skies, learns how to observe or photograph the incomprehensibly distant and huge objects out there, learns about cosmology, and shares this knowledge with others - not because it's a paid occupation, not for recognition or praise, but because we love it. The Warren Astronomical Society (http://www.warrenastro.org) meets twice monthly to share presentations about astronomy: observations, science, and history. There's a …

Who are we? We are Muslims of varying degrees of religiousness: Some of us are practicing Muslims who simply want to take a more objective look at our teachings. Some of us want to discuss certain tenets of our faith that don’t sit well. Some of us have come to the realization that organized religion isn’t for us and want to discuss why. In a nutshell, we're a group of ex-muslims, progressive Muslims, LGBTQ Muslims, etc, hence the name muslim-ish. We're not the typical "mainstream" muslims, so d …

1. Clearing up Any Preconceived Notions First and foremost, before explaining what this group is about, let me be clear that this group has nothing whatsoever to do with fortune-telling or any other mystical use of Tarot cards for divination, path-working, magic, etc. We use a modern version of the Tarot deck in an activity for which Tarot cards were originally invented, playing a trick-taking card game. This is a fact of which few people in America are aware. It is never discussed in our school …
