Join me in learning about the Jewish Labor Bund and their enduring lessons for today, including social democracy and a thriving Jewish diasporism.

Happy #AtheistDay to all those who celebrate (or don't).

Why should we be "good" if there is no supernatural being to judge us? Simplest answer is just because we are social animals - we evolved to live together.

Of course it is more complex than that. Maybe today is a good day to think about it and maybe talk about it.

Reality is a bitter pill when you’ve been fed a steady diet of religious fantasy. While life always was random, I felt safer when I could explain it as “God’s will” or “Satan’s handiwork.” I felt extremely exposed & vulnerable without my Cosmic Big Brother watching over me. Step by step, I learned to own my life. Divorcing religion is painful - but it’s also liberating. I love my life #independence #criticalthinking #identity #reality #science #equality #reason #SecularHumanism #atheist #joy

I will not praise Xtians for simply acting like decent humans. Religion is not required; #humanism is. If I were a union member, I would be annoyed at the union leader for preaching at me from his magic book. #secularhumanism #atheist “Social Gospel movement is changing our politics and reshaping our perspectives” | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/13/us/social-gospel-movement-uaw-strike-blake-cec/index.html

Because Christians are taught to expect #persecution (and essentially wear it as a badge of honor), they see it everywhere - even where it’s not. #fundamentalism #radicalism #extremism #exchristian #criticalthinking #nullifidian #SecularHumanism

World Humanist Congress is over and we are full of renewed passion and inspiration to continue in our #humanist efforts. So many great ideas, conversations and people. It was a pleasure to participate in this event and we will eagerly await WHC 2026 in Washington DC!

Because #tribalism is not sustainable, as painful and fruitless as it sometimes feels, we must continue trying to engage with those we disagree with. While we maintain #boundaries for our mental health (especially with family & friends), #democracy demands that we acknowledge the beliefs of others and their right to hold those views. As Diana Eck asks, "How do I share a world with those whom I do not share a worldview?" #criticalthinking #SecularHumanism #atheist

In my newest blog post, I write about eating lunch at the office alone.

What is the place of the potato in the great chain of being?
