Drone Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Indeed it is, and I'm not saying your wrong for having it, I just don't agree You can control something as long as people don't find any contradictions then your alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaliRichard Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 You can control something as long as people don't find any contradictions then your alright I don't really understand what you mean by that? In addition, if you're saying you can control something as long as people don't find contradictions how do you control them from not finding contradictions to start with? Surely if their contradiction undermines the control then it's not really control at all is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaliRichard Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Don't have any contradictions So are you going to clarify what you meant or shall we just call it a day, offer a handshake and leave it at that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwhine Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 However, we haven't reached the point yet where scientists, atheists, humanists or any other organisation has been able to take the place of the religious services at marriages, births and deaths. Organised religions still perform these functions (even for many non-believers). Ahem! http://www.humanism.org.uk/ceremonies http://www.humanism.org.uk/ceremonies/humanist-namings http://www.humanism.org.uk/ceremonies/humanist-weddings http://www.humanism.org.uk/ceremonies/humanist-funerals-memorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have had some dealings with humanist groups, some of them good. But I've also found some of them to be extremely dogmatic and quite aggressive, and not a very good advert for their point of view. A little humility goes a long way...

I have had some dealings with religious groups, none of them good. But I've also found some of them to be extremely dogmatic and quite aggressive (911, crusades, inquisitions, etc., etc., etc.), and not a very good advert for their point of view. Even the slightest hint of humility from any of them would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
