Unemployment is low. Good chance of another job for those employed by betting shops. What chance of regaining your respect, house and family after losing all through addiction?

Anyone else here involved in ' Street Epistomology' or is this simply an American activity?

Your post led me into a subject I had no idea went on. Thanks for introducing it to me and the site. Do you do this sort of thing?The videos on You tube were the best education in the technique. However I have the same objection to this as to philosophy in general . There are no hard testing points, clear aims and clean techniques for confirming that one has actually achieved anything. Ok anything that get people thinking apart from being told what to believe is a good thing . Is there anything more to it than that? All religion is about submission is the most that I learned from it.

Why wait for religions to decline more ?

My three things that as a human you cannot escape, no matter how much you try (except perhaps by being a hermit) are Politics, Religion and Science. They are built in to society. Like most people here I am tired of what religions have been pedalling and this is why I am asking for better substitutes NOW.

We have had two very famous very sick children lately Charlie Guard and Alfie Evans.
Mcflewster comments on Apr 30, 2018:
Every hospital should have a specialist with some training in medicine - perhaps even a retired doctor and the specialist's job should be that of explaining the science behind the child's illness. I believe that Alfie's "brain was being destroyed" . I do not understand how that could happen. Doctors are now beginning to rely on patients to understand their illnesses. However I would not advocate going flat out into Google without a specialist alongside you who has the time allocated to help.

Do you know about works of Robert Green Ingersoll?
Mcflewster comments on Apr 30, 2018:
"Happiness is the only good.. the time to be happy is now and the way to be happy is to make others so". Robert Green Ingersoll American Humanist 1876.
Use extensively by the British Humanist Association.

Observations on Funeral post
This contains some generalisation but it may well not be a representative sample of Americans and the UK population. It is not meant as a judgement on anyone’s views of their own funeral. It is more about what can happen when religions do disappear.
1. It is amazing how the template of religious funerals has straightjacketed so many people’s thoughts. Are we not Freethinkers?
2. Although many people say “Don’t want a funeral” others rightly say “It is not for the dead but the living." I did ask about the people who would attend your funeral but very sadly not much mention there. This same effect many years ago led to the establishment of the job “professional mourners” Very sad.
3. It is usually a civic duty to dispose of your body hygienically and with respect. Although some cities will give paupers funerals to those in appropriate circumstances.
4. Funerals can and are becoming completely in your controls [subject to bye-laws]. And with of course the help of someone that is not you. Just keep asking funeral directors for a personal service. Planning now IS a possibility. Start a readily accessible book . Why keep it secret?
5. Making sure it is enjoyable( through learning) for everyone there IS an aim.

@Gwendolyn2018 I would like to join you in your pursuit of accuracy over “Your Funerals’. Is it not obvious from the context of the site that I am asking a lot of people about their own particular funeral ? What should I have said to make it clearer ? Only just passed all my English exams here in UK. Anyway I hope that I have convinced you that any single person can have more than one funeral . It has been known for relatives to hold a ceremony on each subsequent anniversary of death but maybe those person’s relatives do not move on from the death so is a bit obsessive

Mcflewster comments on Apr 18, 2018:
@Gwendolyn2018 From Wikipedia A "living funeral" is usually done by someone who knows that he or she does not have much time left to live. Whether the reason is that the person is terminally ill or is at an old age, the person knows death is near and could use it as closure. It is used to celebrate the happy times, and forgive the body for "failing".[1]

What is chemistry?
Mcflewster comments on Apr 16, 2018:
I decide 30 years ago that I had to tell my freshers this because they chose the subject without fully realising what the subject was about.
Chemistry . It uses two or more substances to first investigate the nature (property) of that unique (and pure ) substance and then by experiment find how it changes to one or more completely new substance(s) with a completely different nature (set of properties). BTW you are a complex mixture of substance and you cannot stay alive without doing chemistry. NB Best done with a few actual demonstrations of dramatic change. e.g bangs
In the romantic context? If you come together and together you make a new "substance" - (Mood, behaviour pattern, way of living) something that never existed before and would not exist without the other person then you have CHEMISTRY. Good luck with your experiments!! sometimes the new substance is a baby with appearance and traits coming from both partners

What we're about
Public Group
Do you struggle to connect with more institutional forms of church or religion yet yearn for a genuinely inclusive community where Christian spirituality can be explored and deepened and where creativity is embraced?
Do you long for a faith-space where it’s safe to search and disagree, where questions are welcomed and where it’s ok to be “not ok”? A place where generosity, hospitality, welcome, laughter, honest dialogue, prayer, justice-seeking, children, grace, worship, vulnerability, love, and a passion for life are prioritised and treasured?
Perhaps one (or more) of the following movements, approaches, writers or thinkers mean something to you? Richard Rohr, Anne Lamott, Rob Bell, Brene Brown, Jean Vanier, Brian Maclaren, Rachel Held Evans, Henri Nouwen, Shane Claiborne, John Bell, contemplative spirituality, the emerging/alternative church movement, mysticism, Greenbelt Festival, new monasticism, creative worship... to name but a few?
Maybe you haven’t heard of ANY of these but you are intrigued. Or you’re a skeptic who likes the idea of a wild, transformative God or feels inexplicably drawn to the person of Jesus?
Perhaps you find yourself wondering if there are other people in the Newbury area asking similar questions or exploring creative ideas of faith and Christianity?
Anne Lamott says that “the opposite of faith is not doubt; it’s certainty”. We agree. However, there is at least one thing we are certain of: there’s no such thing as a perfect church. Such a group doesn’t exist- not here, not anywhere. We have more questions than answers. And besides, this is NOT a church. It is a conversation.
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to even one of the questions above, we’d love to hear from you and to start a connection. Thanks for reading.

How would you draw in the 'wild' potential members of this site ?.. well perhaps there are enough wild ones here already, Thank Darwin ! and we are not trying to tame anyone. I was just trying to see how the other side thinks and schemes. It is one of my tactics.

My purpose in constructing this post was to examine the sort of response that religions give that is at the opposite end of what this website is going to do on the spectrum from religion to atheism - dealing often with the same doubts that we have. If we could learn from Xian sites that should help us to be stronger. If doubters get just more preaching then I agree that would be useless to us. Religionists are intelligent and have ways and means of resisting change. I shall continue to make myself aware of techniques. I shall be better informed to resist the use of false science which is my speciality.

Perhaps you find yourself wondering if there are other people in the Newbury area asking similar questions or exploring creative ideas of faith and Christianity?
Anne Lamott says that “the opposite of faith is not doubt; it’s certainty”. We agree. However, there is at least one thing we are certain of: there’s no such thing as a perfect church. Such a group doesn’t exist- not here, not anywhere. We have more questions than answers. And besides, this is NOT a church. It is a conversation.
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to even one of the questions above, we’d love to hear from you and to start a connection. Thanks for reading.

In the future is it not good just good to say "Nobody should be told what to do" ? There are ways of living that would achieve this - for adults at least. Being told what to do INCLUDES what to believe.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many different religions? Well they start out as unified "all encompassing" , Unitarian etc etc. Then some young buck disagrees with the definition of a word and first a faction join them then it becomes sect , then a completely different church and/or website.
Is this the process happening above? I will start a new topic if this particular post does not draw many responses.
Surely we should be coming together to defeat religion and not splitting hairs . Blanket words Rule!

Thee answer lies surely in the history of evolution of our species. Will the evolutionary [unthinking] machine ever get us a second chance to evolve into a more equal society? - that is now that we are just deciding to do more about the inequality of the sexes?. Well if it could it would take a very long time so you would probably want a more sociological approach as opposed to a fast track evolution. I think it could be done. Men would have to tone down their testosterone. Women would have to just keep on achieving more and more by way of gender supremacy in hitherto male roles. But please give up when you have supremacy and don't take out any revenge.

@TheMiddleWay But this site could make a difference to how people see them selves, could it not? It will not proselytise people into Humanism and I hope that I am not seen in this way ,but we need to paint similar banners for our demonstrations do we not? Remember Atheist IS the most hated word in the American public is it not. It is also the easiest to define but a lot of people add a lot more baggage to further their own (twisted?)causes.

@TheMiddleWay ”Precise thoughts come from precise language”. I do not agree with this. Words stay mostly constant and persist long past their usefulness e.g gay . It is the meaning which changes (and this is the same for definitions which are often personal ) and we cannot stop people changes meaning for their own sometimes twisted purposes. Gay changed its meaning to cheer up homosexuals to be more in line with their behaviour.
Words often encompass two or more categories. Most Humanists are also Atheists -I am not.
Surely what we are searching for is blanket word that covers many concepts AND puts the most important things up front. Christ does for describing Christians and Human is the most important statement that only humans figure in our explanations.
BTW Most gays are not unusually cheerful in my experience -they are just ordinary people.

A Brief Overview of the History of Islam - attached pdf below. https://americanhumanist.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/islam.pdf
Many medieval Muslim thinkers pursued humanistic, rational and scientific discourses in their search for knowledge, meaning and values. A wide range of Islamic writings on history and philosophical theology show that medieval Islamic thought was open to the humanistic ideas of individualism, secularism, skepticism and liberalism.
— Humanists strive to embrace the moral principle in the Golden Rule, the ethic of reciprocity, and treat each other as one would like to be treated themselves — with tolerance, consideration and compassion. The Golden Rule, a unifying humanistic principle, cannot be claimed for any one philosophy or religion. Throughout the ages, many traditions have promoted one or other versions of it. In Islam, the Golden Rule is: “Not one of you truly believes until you wish for others what you wish for yourself.” — The Prophet Muhammad, Hadith

The only way to stop cheating is to make exams a more pleasant varied experience and to educate what would happen to you if you say failed to understand a concept because you cheated that bit of the course and it revealed a weakness that in the future with your false degree put your job, reputation,clients life and conscience at risk.

Tim Hawkins is a Christian comedian and a pretty funny one at that.
Mcflewster comments on Mar 21, 2018:
Comedians command a very powerful tool in any fight. A court jester was always the rule for many kings and queens. In the UK comedians are having actual serious views and for sarcastic and witty cutting remarks. For the prime example view "Have I got news for you" on the BBC Chanel if you get one. They often Pop up on Question Time with the top thinkers in society. They often come up with the unexpected - the more unexpected the better. And sarcasmm will not work unless there is an element of truth about it. These songs are to be expected and yes they are funny but they do not tell any truths about the majority of atheists.
I keep trying to find jokes about Humanist so far without much sucess -perhaps I am just waiting for the first real Alienist. Perhaps you can do better.

I think that the greater intelligence shows it self in making many and lasting connections between things which are not obviously connected - hence progressing human knowledge.

Lyrics
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the WORLD I've been blessed

Please think through with her all the consequences of locking herself into that decision . Is an intermediate step (Bisexual) possible. Are you to trying to expalin the feelings she has for the same sex? If not start a new post. Keeping things fuid whilst honestly accepting everything that can happen will get you through this.

The only means of knowing something or getting as close to the truth that is possible at a particular time is SCIENCE made pure and simple. Intuition is a form of science where you are not fully in the driving seat e.g have lost many connections to a conclusion e.g where you are unable to recall how you came to a conclusion.

The religious commentator asks of atheists what photos and/or measurements can you make to prove murder is wrong. This must be applied to religionists also.
It can be shown that overall the number of violent deaths in the world is and has been deceasing markedly for both atheists and Religionists. See work by Stephen Pinker

Did you vote Remain in or Leave the EU?
Mcflewster comments on Mar 5, 2018:
Brexit is definitely a reaction to globalisation which is unstopable. I voted tor remain because if it goes through it will completely change the whole character of the country . The use of the word 'democratic' vote has been twisted to mean "vote without knowledge or a feeling for the complexity of the situation" . Could America find that a twisted voting changes the whole character of the country I wonder?

FGM or circumcision? Which does more damage?
Mcflewster comments on Mar 4, 2018:
It is difficult to compare these two especially as techiques of surgery have changed over the years. However the salient points are
1. The number of nerve endings cut in the process of removing the foreskin and removing the cap of the clitoris in the female case. It is the male that has the greatest number of nerves in the areas concerned - although of course there are other erogenous zones.
2. There is suffereing no matter how many people say "They will not remember it" or "They will get over it". and I believe it is crime to perform surgery on anyone even if parental permission is given.
3. No matter what sex we are we should all be campaigning equally for these practices to be stopped.
On the question of reasons for these barbaric acts there was a film released over 10 years ago about Mr (Cornflake) Kellog and his health farms . Preventing Masturbation was his reason. Can anyone remeber the name of the film?

Sorry to introduce science here - but I am not trying to overload your brain to understand anything. Just to relate my experience as my science education developed. I think it is beneficial to everyone to understand concepts by any simplified means. Please go with science as far as you can.
To anyone interested in science first discoveries are Binary. That means just two sides to the description like haveing a switch on and off. Acid and alkali is probably the most familiar but there are dozens of them. The important stage comes when you realise that there are not only the extremes but a sliding scale between them and you need a system to describe where you are on the sliding scale. This is how the pH scale was deveised and named because it is the hydrogen ion H+ that is the controlling factor (in a water sytem).
Now I should say that I am not advocating giving gender a number which defines you. Also I do not understand human biology and phsyionomy. Just to realise the best way of looking at many things in life is through a spectrum. Sliding scale or Rainbow is the best non scientific term I can think of . Think of the developments in treatments of Autism that have meant people with mild Autism effects can be treated without labelling them in a dramatic way. Concepts in one sytem can be transferred to other areas of Human experience.
In the science field there are concepts like pH within non water systems.
Things like acidity are now so easy to control. There are ways of building in a resitance to acidty - giving the whole sytem more resilience. I only wish I could apply that concept to the gender sytem but that is asking too much at the moment.
All I am trying to do here is avoid the bigoted thinking that religious people find so easy to slip into. Science can help but only if more people make an effort to understand. My biggest hope at the moment is that more science type posters will try to make an effort to help others who have not had science education to reach not necessarily scientic knowledge of experise but to asist in getting concepts. Is that impossible?? . You say

A good defence. As you say, 'Them' was clueless. I do not like attacking a religion or cult - just proving them wrong, but one thing we could collectively do is try to eliminate the use of the word science in the name of their belief. In the UK we also have the 'Christian Science' movement.
We should ask how their science has anything to do with the generally accepted view of what science is, asking them to give examples that justify the use of the word science.
Does anyone know why these two movements, Scientology and Christian Science began using science in their title.

Are you referring to " The eureka effect (also known as the Aha! moment or eureka moment) refers to the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept."
Look up the discovery of Archimedes and the displacement of water from his bath.
Any science discovery has the potential to give you a eureka moment and one of the tests to say that you have made a real science discovery is that your result in an investigation should be a real surprise. It should be pleasurable because you have strained your mind to find the connection to the answer and you were not expecting it!!

Interesting use of the word sacred in front of science which to me gives it a 'keep off' feel.
Scientists do the real work and then business executives twist the findings for their own ends - so do not blame the scientists . It is better to do your own science (i.e research into the findings of others) and not trust what big firms tell you.

We discuss gun laws of the USA a lot in the UK, mostly of the "Why don't they... etc etc" type , meaning that it is thought that we in the UK could tell you in America what you should do.
My analysis would start with the statement that ' Guns are the one device that when you have one, you (often erroneously) feel that you do not have to do what someone else says'. Its ultimately a 'Do as I say or this argument ends here', weapon .It requires no preparation other than engage the trigger and this, in the extreme, means that no thinking about things for too long is required either.
We have to acknowledge that the human race does NOT like being told what to do. That is another way of saying we like freedom. OK so sometimes, for reason of law or patriotism or expedience we do do as we are told but that does not squash the resentment for paying taxes or doing punishment for not doing homework, or the feeling when you are expelled from college without the ability to reason your way bak in. The wild west and your history establish all the ways of getting your own way in the world. You do not have to be controlled by history.
The gun lobby is viewed as the means of ensuring that you citizens of the USA will not be told what to do by the government so they in the extremes of circumstances, can go on not doing what the criminal or the taxman, or mom is telling you what to do. Hence a stalemate arises and the search is on to break it. It is obvious to me that the break will not come from anyone being told what to do .
You are so busy protecting this stalemate that you are forced into ignoring the fact that the answer must come through logic and reason. I do not know how yet - I shouldn't comment but if you need to fight fire with fire, meaning that you will not have to give up guns then it is reasonable to think that massively increasing the number of controlled areas with check in and checkout check points - controlled that is by trained police officers would be part of the solution.
Is it reasonable to assume that everyone will eventually have to be monitored all the time to control all our movements. To have the important freedoms of going on living it is reasonable that you need to give up others.
What I am really arguing for is the application of more science to crowd and individual control. Split the problem up into lots and lots of small control problem. Find the solution to each of them , slowly at a rate you can afford. Anyone who likes shooting for recreation or food should be able to shoot in an area where the guns do NOT go home with the shooter and become uncontrolled. Yes it would need Fort Knox to protect the guns whilst their owner is absent.

How important is it to the average athiest or agnostic to debunk religious beliefs?
Mcflewster comments on Feb 11, 2018:
I am thinking more and more that this is less important. It wastes a lot of energy and the religious ideas will show themselves to be wrong without us interfering. Unfortunately some believers will not find out the truth until they are dead when of course they will not feel anything. Instead of worrying about them get them on a path to reason and logic by suggesting that they join this site and find the truth. This is important while there is still time to make sure their loved ones can exchange love as much as possible. You cannot force them but I have faith than people kind is a collection of potentially reasonable animals.
