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.

Three Paths to More Happiness-No Luck Required

Tue, 02/28/2012 - 20:36

This Irish blessing shows many things that people hope for in life. It says, “May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true!” For Humanists who don’t rely on luck or the supernatural, the gold at the end of the rainbow could be in recent research showing that we can add happiness to our lives by how we handle things.  » Read more

Mon, 02/06/2012 - 17:09

The Occupy Wall Street movement has generated international occupations and for me raised questions about what do Humanists occupy and what do Humanists hope to accomplish. The short answer is that Humanists aim to occupy reality and to live well, but here are some details.  » Read more
