In reference to Katt's post: "Looks like a fairly good idea to me...
(posted earlier today)

Wow!! Did you get me wrong! (But after reading my comment I can see why you
did.) First, I should have written, "I don't know" instead of "No." (I
still can't figure out why I did that.) But read the comment carefully. I
like Humanists. I admire Humanists. Like I said, Paul Kurtz was impressive.
The point I was wretchedly trying to get across was that I felt
uncomfortable with the use of the word "Church" in describing a meeting
place of Humanists. (Boy, would fundies have a field day with that one!) I
also tried to express the idea that having Humanists congregate in a place
called a church *would* gives the impression that somehow Humanism is a
religion (which its not!). I truly am sorry for the confusion. I meant no
ill-will by what I wrote. I am a horrid writer. (In fact, I am not writer
at all. Just someone trying to express an idea that is often very difficult
for me to express. I feel awful that my comments offended you.

No, but your post gave me a lot to think about. Dr. Paul Kurtz visited

with an Atheist group I belonged to many years ago and I really liked the
guy. He just had "class." I didn't give Humanism all *that* much thought
at the time, but I now rather like the concept of a "Church" centered
around the tenets of Humanism. The word "Church" throws me off though
(since its a place of "worship"), and I thought Humanism was a strictly a
philosophy. But as long as Humanism isn't defined as a religion (and
there's no reason why it should) and someone comes up with a suitable
substitute for the word "Church," I'm game

stuff that expresses utter contempt by the confusing and ugly way you lay
it out, I'm just gonna plonk you. Bye bye.

There's no point you replying to me any more: since you persist in posting
stuff that expresses utter contempt by the confusing and ugly way you lay it
out, I'm just gonna plonk you. Bye bye.
