Careful. Your God doesn't like you telling lies. The Brights are organized for no such purpose.

You don’t believe in any god… ‘Mindlessness’ is all that is left for you and your ‘beginning’– this is your god. You accuse me of lies – and act as though a higher source does exist by invoking what? Let’s look at ‘your’ belief system:

Think about your own worldview to decide if it is indeed free of supernatural or mystical deities, forces, and entities. Check the wording in the definition and description (above). If you would like more information on the important terms used in the definition, you can go to the FAQs.

If you decide that you fit the definition, then you can simply say so and join with us in this extraordinary effort to change the thinking of society--the BRIGHTS MOVEMENT. If successful, these early efforts of ours could have far-reaching effects.

We are forming a constituency of Brights (persons who fit the definition and sign in on this Web site) for social and political action. This constituency of Brights includes many who are members of existing atheist, agnostic, freethought, humanist, rationalist, secularist, or skeptic organizations and many more who are nonreligious and are not associated with any formal group.

Can we Brights impact society's outlook by putting just one new word to popular use? That remains to be seen, but if you are intrigued by the idea, we invite you to explore this Web site and learn more about The BRIGHTs Movement.

Now I asked if you were trying to be sarcastic in post #54

Your blind watchmaker friend and founding member agrees with you…

Dick Dawkins writes many books on evolution… What if someone used your same logic in regard to humanism, atheism, nazism, socialism, etc…

Typical Talibunny: his opponents are denied the most fundamental attributes of humanity, because they don't agree with him. If by accident he had been born Islamic, he'd be screaming for Sharia.

Lies are wrong. You don't need to be a fundamentalist to assert that.

As for the Brights; their role is to stand up against the pervasive anti-naturalist agenda in our society. In fact, Heartlander, you are a prime example of why many of us feel the Brights need to exist. If objecting to slander is anti-Christian, what does that say about Christians?
