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.
