Humanist Symposium #29

Dec 7, 2008 | Blog Topics

Welcome to the 29th Humanist Symposium blog carnival! With all the horrors and annoyances from the latest news I think we’re all due for a bit of inspiration — and this edition doesn’t disappoint. Since this post is a springboard to actual entries, I’ve kept it super-short with a haiku summarising each post (or my impression of it). Should give you a quick idea of what posts you’ll be interested in:

Atheist people

can inspire Self & Other

through philanthropy

Imperfect knowledge

doesn’t stop a pursuit of

knowledge and virtue

You don’t need spirits

to seek immortality

atheists can too

We’re all animals

but our consciousness brings us

a duty of care

On meditation

as seen from a perspective

of naturalism

Arguments about

gay marriage & adoption

should be reason-based

A tale of problems

with both sides on the debate

on euthanasia

Some of us can find

poetic inspiration

in anti-matter

To end, here’s Adam

finding natural wonder,

waxing Saganesque

That’s it then, thanks for everyone for submitting! #30 is on Dec 28th, hosted by the founder Adam at Daylight Atheism.
