Celebrate HumanLight Day

 HumanLight
Today, December 23, is HumanLight Day.  Personally, I'm more in a mood for "Let's Give the Torturers and Guntards a Taste of Their Own Medicine" Day, but HumanLight seems a bit more achievable.
HumanLight illuminates Humanism's positive secular vision. In Western societies, late December is a season of good cheer and a time for gatherings of friends and families. During the winter holiday season, where the word "holiday" has taken on a more secular meaning, many events are observed. This tradition of celebrations, however, is grounded in supernatural religious beliefs that many people in modern society cannot accept. HumanLight presents an alternative reason to celebrate: a Humanist's vision of a good future. It is a future in which all people can identify with each other, behave with the highest moral standards, and work together toward a happy, just and peaceful world.
And anything that pisses off the freakazoids is something to celebrate.
