The Humanist Community Deserves Strong Support

Tue, 05/15/2012 - 13:18

After the board of trustees of the Humanist Community approved a life time membership option, I took advantage of it.  Sure, there are many other things I could have done with the money, but this seemed like an important way to have membership in the Humanist Community and to make a contribution.  Why does the Humanist community deserve strong support for its work to teach Humanism and build community among Humanists?   In the Humanist Community, I have met many thoughtful people. » Read more

While speaking against equality in marriage rights, Sean Harris, Senior Pastor of the Berean Baptist Church of Fayetteville, North Carolina gave some disturbing advice and cited the Bible as his authority. As a way of handling a four year old boy who does anything girlish, Harris advised, “squashing that like a cockroach and saying, ‘Man up son!’” To clarify, Harris added, “Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist...Give ‘em a good punch...You’re not going to act like that. » Read more

Time Out for Reason

Mon, 04/30/2012 - 19:47

You don’t have to watch the news for long to see evidence of irrationality. Politicians spread lies and false accusations. Pundits speculate. Meanwhile, serious needs get ignored, Constitutional rights are given a back seat, and Americans are told by politicians to pray about it. For those of us who still support “liberty and justice for all,” there is a lot to be done. Humanists are calling for a National Day of Reason on May 3. National Day of Reason encourages reason, science, service, and action and shows respect for the religious liberty of all Americans. » Read more

Open Minds and Open Expression

Mon, 04/16/2012 - 21:33

Richard Dawkins has sparked debate by saying, “Don’t fall for the convention that we’re all too polite to talk about religion. Religion is not off the table. Religion is not off limits. Religion makes specific claims about the universe which need to be substantiated and need to be challenged and, if necessary, need to be ridiculed with contempt.” But not everyone wants to keep a body guard as Dawkins does.  » Read more

Pride v. Prejudice

Tue, 04/10/2012 - 19:55

As Humanists, we may think of ourselves as “good without God,” but the expression “evil little thing” captures what many people in the United States think of someone supporting Humanism. Humanists face potentially serious consequences from prejudice and discrimination. At the Reason Rally, Humanists helped make a safe space where people could be honest about their Humanism and enjoy the company of others. Now, many of us want to find and create more safe spaces.  » Read more

The Art of Humanist Living: Time for TEA

Sat, 03/17/2012 - 11:26

In 2012, our Humanist programs will explore many different topics, but each year, one theme is present and that is Humanist living. Humanist living involves our exploration of ways to put reason and compassion in action and to be “good without God.” Humanist living involves “careful thinking and thoughtful caring.” Humanist living involves all that we as Humanists think, feel, and do to live well.
