Donna is so efficient at making tax filing almost painless. She educates you too, so every year, filing becomes an easier task. She not only filed the usual information, but she made many suggestions that will benefit me this year too.

On the Notion of Ideas as Life. Welcome back, dear reader. I have, for a little while at least, returned reinvigorated by a talk I recently heard We are the gods now by Jason Silva, at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas. Over the coming month, I am going to be digesting and analysing many of the themes he touched on in his presentation, beginning with the idea that ideas or memes are a new form of life. We must first have an understanding of what, exactly, life is.

A Growing Community of Secularists.

This program provides an introduction to a fascinating range of non-religious people and their beliefs. BBC Two about arheist, agnostic, humanist, free thinker, bright.

My own personal attempt to give a secular interpretation of the Bible. The indirect way of compassion. What will the people of the region, once they hear about the god who took the Children of Israel out of Egypt, just to kill them in the desert, say? They will say that this is because god is not powerful enough to lead them to their promised land. Which of these explanations convince god? Well, you can argue with me, but I think god chooses option number two.
