  1. Since Christianity turned out to be false, I would like a religion that focuses on being good people and making the world a better place. Unfortunately, it seems that every #religion includes (dubious at best) metaphysical claims. Even #UnitarianUniversalists claim that there is one God and everyone goes to heaven. OTOH, #Humanists seem to mandate #atheism. How can anyone know? I just want a group focused on doing good for its own sake that I can meet with regularly.

  2. #Mastodon #News When i arrived here the 1st user i followed was @georgetakei
    He is always present and very active and a beacon of #Humanity and #Decency in the mad #World we live in, where empathy and human values are considered, sadly by many, as secondary.

    The second one i tried to follow was #RobReiner and i had to deal with the fact that he was never active here.

    Still i remember his posts on #Twitter; his late father ones as well.
    Both #Humanists just for their empathy towards the less favored.

    #RIP #RobReiner #Democracy lost a warrior, History won a Hero.

  3. #BookReview: “Separation of #Church and #Hate

    #BOOK BY JOHN FUGELSANG

    That a book defending #Christianity and the #Bible against #fundamentalists and #religious #nationalists could be relevant to #humanists might seem contradictory. However, the author’s approach—pairing #extremists’ stated beliefs with #Christ’s actual words—makes for informative and even entertaining reading.

  6. I believe that Canada has had its version of Assisted Dying (Medical Assistance in Dying) since 2016.

    As of today the UK now has it, unless the House of Lords can do anything to overturn it I guess (?).

    We've had friends who would have welcomed this as the pain they experienced was too much for them, they just wanted to pop off.

  7. “And yet Rabelais’s #humanists display the very same #solipsism as #LLM users today, who, in thinking ‘with’ #LLMs, merely refract their own #thoughts through a body of other people’s #words.” #AI aeon.co/essays/who-n...

  8. Myself, as a young teacher during the Bicentennial. I'm glad I didn't know then how rife with homophobia and bigotry public education is. 1976. #publiceducation #bigotry #homophobia #racism #sexism #xenophobia #institutionalizedbigotry #humanist #humanists #education

  9. I'm really pleased to get my advance copy of 'What I Believe' edited by Andrew Copson. Seeing my words amongst those of such great people is quite humbling. My part is on my thoughts about an open-source world and how it benefits mankind.

  10. During the #Renaissance period most #humanists were Christians, so their concern was to "purify and renew #Christianity", not to do away with it. Their vision was to return ad fontes ("to the sources") to the simplicity of the Gospels and of the New Testament, bypassing the complexities of medieval Christian #theology.
