Spiritual Humanism:






Reason Based Religion

We cannot abandon ancient traditions and practices, but we can adapt them to our new understanding of the universe. Religion must be able to adapt to new scientific inquiry without rejecting humanity's deep spiritual connection to history and the natural world.

All humans have an inalienable right and duty to practice their own religious traditions.

Spiritual Humanism allows everyone to fuse their individual religious practices onto the foundation of scientific humanist thought. This new tradition accepts people from all religious backgrounds.  It recognizes the validity of all peaceful religious practices and behaviors as being helpful and necessary in developing the spiritual nature of humanity.

Love is here. . .

The GIFT of Spiritual Humanism:


REASON

We cannot abandon ancient traditions and practices, but we can adapt them to our new understanding of the universe. Religion must be able to adapt to new knowledge about the universe without rejecting the deep spiritual connections to human history, and the natural world of which we are apart.

All humans have an inalienable right and duty to practice their own religious traditions.

Spiritual Humanism allows everyone to fuse their individual religious practices onto the foundation of scientific humanist inquiry. We accept people from any religious background and recognize the validity of all peaceful religious practices and behaviors as being helpful and necessary in developing the spiritual nature of humanity.

Birthers Won't Go Away. . .

NO JOKE:

Some obscure author, Jerome Corsi, released this week a new book that the publisher says will be a bestseller "of historic proportions."

The title is "Where's the Birth Certificate?" -- indeed.

Corsi's work is a greatest-hits reel of delusions, ranging from 9/11 conspiracies to claiming that there is an infinite supply of oil in the Earth's core. In 2008, he published a book about Barack Obama claiming, among other things, that he is a secret Muslim;  is secretly anti-military;  has secretly dealt drugs and get this- secretly mind you, supported terrorist actions when he was eight years old. So many secrets!

FactCheck.org called Corsi's work "a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods."

There's really no way to make this stuff completely go away. The only thing we can do is laugh at it -- and make sure as many other people as possible are in on the joke.
