HUMANISM
This week, we continue our series on humanism with the fifth statement in the Humanist Manifesto III from the American Humanist Association.
"Humans are social by nature and find meaning in relationships. Humanists long for and strive toward a world of mutual care and concern, free of cruelty and its consequences, where differences are resolved cooperatively without resorting to violence. The joining of individuality with interdependence enriches our lives, encourages us to enrich the lives of others, and inspires hope of attaining peace, justice, and opportunity for all."
More next week.

EVOLUTION
~Vortarian recently asked about where to find information on evolution.
Especially if you're just getting started, I'd like to recommend Evolution, a seven-episode, eight-hour series on evolution, produced by Boston PBS station WGBH which also has a book, Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea, by science journalist Carl Zimmer, and a web site (pbs.org/wgbh/evolution) to go with it. If you get the DVD through the NCSE's link to Amazon you help fund a good cause.
The NCSE also has an excellent list of evolution related links at [link] as well.
Funny: Rain Dance
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue joined lawmakers and ministers on the steps of the state capitol to pray for rain. Ellen Johnson of American Atheists comments in this video. (YouTube)
Not-So-Funny: Reconstructionists
Jeremy Leaming writes about Christian Reconstructionists, [who] seek to impose the criminal code of the Old Testament, applying the death penalty for homosexuals, adulterers, fornicators, witches, incorrigible juvenile delinquents and those who spread false religions.

LINKS
AtheistsClub maintains a collections of resource links to help our members explore the free-thinking world.
ONE WEEK
The AtheistsClub usually responds to notes and messages within one week. We do better on some days than others, but seven days seems to be the practical limit on how much we can do when things get busy. We almost never get complaints, but I wanted to make sure that everyone knows, we are definitely not ignoring you if it takes that long! Thanks for understanding.

And now randomly...I finished reading "The God Delusion" last night and when I read the part about the "Hell Houses" I just had to look them up on Youtube. I found a clip about them from "The Root of All Evil?" and I just became sooo angry when the actors were depicting lesbian marriage. Depicting love as something vile and abhorrent...it makes my blood boil. I seriously want to visit one of these "Hell Houses" one day simply to yell out crude comments at the actors and throw popcorn; not particularly constructive I know, but it would make me feel better. Besides, I might interrupt the indoctrination of some little kids.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did.
