I just responded to the Northern Ireland Executive’s consultation on RE. After the Supreme Court ruled exclusively Christian RE is ‘indoctrination’, it’s time for inclusive, critical, and objective classes for all children. Have your say too. #NorthernIrelandHumanists humanists.uk/action/tell-...

Dictionary defs are pointless, do you think? We should all make up our own? Which is what you seem to do. Goodbye.

if that's your understanding of humanism, then I'll just refer to myself as an atheist: no religion, no belief in gods, no priests, etc.

Anyway, you referred to the “humanist religion”. Religion usually relates to the worship of a supernatural being, which is not something humanists need to do.

Moral structure whatever that means) a Christian product? Christianity has been pretty immoral.
Science is not a Christian “product”. It is the accumulation of our knowledge of the world.

Then which gods do humanists believe in, do you imagine?

Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and all their teams are ignorant, irresponsible, thugs. May they all die soon.

My,my!

We will have to agree to differ on communism and socialism, which is what I expected. As to Jesus, I don’t know where he (if he existed at all) fits in. Religion is nonsense to me.

“Religion”, properly speaking, refers to the beliefs and rituals of people who worship a mythical being. It has no connection with socialism.

It is important for the purpose of serious debate that words have clear and unambiguous meaning. “Communism”and “socialism” are synonymous and refer to a system of society in which all resources of the planet are shared and managed democratically by all people.

Would you be good enough to explain exactly what a “socialist Communist religion” is, please?

But then the electorate seems to be short on brains.

“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” (series 1 -4) a complete mystery since it was filmed without using enough lights. We had out TV brightness adjusters on max and it was still virtually invisible.

Film makers have gone nuts.

Capitalism depends on competition for resources, with the aim of maximising profit. Ultimately competition takes the form of war.

Socialism depends on cooperation, with the aim of providing all that human society needs. Including peace.

No-brainer, really.

Just finished ep 4 of Vanished (Prime Video). What an awful waste of time!

What do the Idaho Republicans hope to gain, apart from the pleasure of upsetting gay couples?

I still don't understand how burning a book can offend a religion. A silly thing to do but hardly warranting more than the use of a bucket of water.

Would burning a copy of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary offend the English language?

Amazing how characters in TV movies work in offices, labs and other rooms which have quite inadequate lighting. Now watching Silent Witness, for instance, where interview rooms have just enough light to see part of the characters faces. All else is in deep shadow.

If I said I believed in fairies, most would consider me somewhat weird and perhaps should be safely locked away.

I feel the same about people who claim that gods exist.

I think it is the believers who need evidence for their position, something which is absent so far.

Belief is largely a matter of indoctrination of the young and vulnerable with falsehoods: children of christians become christians, children of muslims become muslims, etc.

Before Darwin most atheists professed to be religious because it was dangerous or socially unacceptable to say otherwise.

Support for religion is analogous to the anti-vaccine movement: people will die and the infection will spread.

So what do you do with the leader of a sovereign state who is corrupt and wrecking the sovereign state? Turn a blind eye? What would you do if you knew your next door neighbour was keeping his family in slavery?
I don't know, either. The right course is not obvious, is it?

Uneducated voters are only a danger to themselves. They have ensured the rich have everything, all protected by the police and military. It's now down hill all the way. The only consolation is that the rich will die, too.

In a powerful display of resistance, Ukrainians in Lviv just showed the world how to stand up to tyranny and celebrate Christmas. This is beautiful.💙🎄☺️

Bill Madden 👏👏👏😎💙

With ZERO fucks left to give, Caroline Kennedy, throws down the gauntlet on the loathsome piece of shit for his desecration of The Kennedy Center. 😳👇

The UK Halloween is about encouraging little children to to scrounge sweets.
