New Religion? Maybe in Puna? - ericlp - 01-08-2014 http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=260184473&m=260428843 We need to start one of these! RE: New Religion? Maybe in Puna? - DTisme - 01-09-2014 As an atheist, this interests me. I had heard about the London Assembly and am glad this has spread as the Sunday Assembly. I take issue, though, with using the words "church," "congregation," and other words that connote religion. It certainly isn't a "new religion" as your title suggests. It's NON-religion. That's the point. Or, as one of the people in the interview said, "Live better. Help often. Wonder more." Loved this bit, too: "The universe in itself is bigger, more more fantastic, awe-inspiring, than anything human beings have created for themselves." If that's the kind of sentiment one would find at Sunday Assembly, if it's the kind of place one could go who believes in science and in the strength of the human spirit, I'd definitely attend.

Just look at the religious backed and inspired hatred toward humans with respect to same sex marriage right here in Hilo. Look at the demented idiot in downtown Hilo with his pick-up truck and signs "demonizing" Obama and islam. Look right here in Puna - or for that matter, look at any place in this world today. 99.9% of ALL core problems of all humans around this planet are at the feet of "man written" words and "beliefs" of a what a supposed "god" is and wants - all wrapped up in a term called religion. To compare and debate what religion is "crazier" than the other - is ridiculous! RE: New Religion?
