Re: Humans versus (other) animals.
I don't see why we assume ourselves to be above other animals. We're certainly more successful at the things we count as important. But then rats are more successful at what they do. And we have a responsibility to protect the habitats of other species. In the same sense that industry has a responsi...

Re: Can a theist be a humanist?
To me, describing myself as a humanist means I do not believe there in a supreme being and that life as a human is positive. Though there is a humanist movement in historic christianity, that does not include a non-belief in God (fairly obviously). Some choose to make this clear by using the term "...

Re: does anyone really care about global warming?
I care. I have a diesel car that does 80 miles to the gallon. I've not been on a plane since 1991. When we sold our last house it got an A rating for the energy survey - despite being built in the early 1950s, and due to our green efforts with insulation and condensing boilers. Our current house is ...

Re: Aspartame
I've always been happy with aspartame. I always buy low calorie drinks. None of my children have shown any reactions, except that they all have good teeth.

Re: Comfort, Relaxing and Winding down
Being depressed means I have constant doubt in certain areas if they are challenged even if the challenge is pathetic, I feel so bad that I can't laugh it off like so many people. It happens with a lot of my opinions, on gender, sexuality, politics...etc. It might help to develop a stronger sense o...

Re: 'Muslimophobia'
He didn't write anything racist. He wrote " 'Muslimophobia' is not a form of secularism that humanist should welcome and embrace - it is a form of xenophobia akin to racism". Which leads me to worry that anything I write would need to be carefully framed in case it's deeded to be muslimophobic and t...

Re: 'Muslimophobia'
Threads like this make me uncomfortable. Better to say nothing than risk saying the wrong thing and be branded racist. Which probably gives way more insight into the root of this "problem" than anything else I could write.

Re: Acupuncture
But since placebos have been shown to be effective (especially in those who expect them to be) then there must be a chemical mechanism in place - even if just some internal workings which are ignited in response to treatment. Any treatment. If the physical relief of symptoms is mental in origin it s...

Re: When Will The Church of England Shut Up Shop...
I don't know if they're a charity but I'm not happy with the situation whereby I'm paying council tax for ministers of religion - even where the minister owns his own home. That exception is reserved solely for Church of England ministers. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/eim60014.htm

Re: When Will The Church of England Shut Up Shop...
I hope it doesn't shut up shop too soon. My friend teaches woodwind instruments and needs the chuch to put on her pupil concerts. She'd need to pay royalties on pieces of music which are still in copyright, except that there's an exception if they're preformed in a church (OK as part of a religious ...

Re: Acupuncture
I'm struggling to dismiss acupuncture. I've had successful "treatment" and I've seen something weird too. My treatment was a birthday present from my mother. I'd had chronic bronchitis for a few years - with about five attacks a year. Each bout caused more damage which made the next one worse. My mo...

Re: Comfort, Relaxing and Winding down
I play the piano. It takes me into a parallel mind zone (probably and alpha wave?). If I didn't have a piano I'd play a guitar. I play the Classical Guitar - which is like a piano in that you use all your fingers. They don't cost much. But probably too much for you if you don't have food in the hous...
