philforhumanity rated 3 months ago- Hi, and welcome to the 21st edition of the Humanist Symposium! Yesterday was the Summer Solstice, and I was originally planning to do a whole pagan woo theme in honor of it. But I decided that wouldn't be in keeping with the non-snarky, "atheism as a positive, fulfilling worldview" mission statement of the Symposium. So instead, I'm doing a "21st edition/ reaching the age of maturity" theme... and am illustrating this edition's contributions with pictures of cocktails.

- This blogger writes very well. One of the more informed, critical bloggers out there. Having written a few books probably helps, too. Practice makes perfect! Sample: "Because the evidence is overwhelming that consciousness and selfhood are products of the brain. Everything we know tells us that physical changes to the brain chemistry and/or structure -- even very small changes -- can make radical changes to our consciousness and selfhood. Illness, injury, drugs (recreational or medicinal)... all of these can drastically alter consciousness and self, even eradicate them altogether, temporarily or permanently. Talk to a stroke victim, a person with Alzheimer's, a depressed person on medication, a club kid on Ecstasy, and you'll know what I'm talking about. And of course, the greatest physical change of all -- death -- seems, from all the evidence we have, to completely eradicate consciousness and selfhood, very permanently indeed." EDIT LATER: How we think, and be, affects our brain chemistry, in turn, of course. One of life's wonderful questions without answer...which antecedes what? The piece on the rough time that atheists get in the USA is worth a look, too: http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_christinas_weblog/2007/10/atheists-and-a n.html

- Damn! Just Damn!!! Greta is not only insightful but she has written a defense of Fred Phelps that cannot be faulted - much as I cannot stand the guy her take is dead on as far as the first amendment goes. I have a feeling she will be a regular read from now on. Many thanks to http://kosznai.stumbleupon.com/ for het link to this gem of a writer.

The husband is right: the amount of time I've spent today on the internet isn't healthy - all due to the captivating choice of topics, sharp insight, crystal-clear argumentation and realistic attitude of Greta Christina. Beware: once you read a sentence you'll have to see it through. (bonus: fun cat pictures weekly)

- This is one of the best written Atheist blogs I've ever read. Yes, it rants like the others, but it's intelligent ranting, which makes all the difference.
