Happy winter solistice celebrations to all free thinkers

Happy Holidays! Remember, this season celebrate reason… and don’t let Christians hijack a great secular, pluralistic holiday!

if you are celebrating any of the western traditions of Christmas this year, remember that you are actually enjoying the rituals and activities of several ancient religions whose traditions have been borrowed by the Christians over the years for the celebration of the birth of Christ. Buy presents, enjoy family, eat good food. We can still enjoy a season of good memories and fun ancient traditions, even without god… especially when those traditions didn’t start as Christian traditions anyway.

As free thinkers, lets celebrate  WINTER SOLSTICE

Just smile and Enjoy your LIFE as we say BYE to 2010



HAPPY CELEBRATIONS FROM KASESE UNITED HUMANIST ASSOCIATION

Humanist Ethical Views Analyzed in a Question and Answer Format

Question 1:

1.      What should you do, in order to be ‘good’ or ‘do what’s right’? 

Answer:

You should try to lead a full and happy life without harming others. One way to do

this is to help other people to do the same. 

 Question 2:

2. Who or what tells you what is right or wrong?

Answer :

You use human nature to decide what is right and wrong. There is no god or holy

book to turn to.

Question 3:

Why should you try to do what is right?

Answer:

The use of reason and empathy helps us live well together in groups.

Those who care about others and act on it usually have better relationships and more fulfilling lives - they are happier.

Question 4:

Is there any way in which bad actions are punished and good actions rewarded, like

karma, reincarnation, heaven or hell?

Answer:

The world is full of injustice - but being good and trying to do the right thing.

generally helps you live happily with other people.

There is no life after death. We should make the best of the one life we know

We have. 

We should try to make the world a better place, because we can empathize with the suffering of others. Any rewards and punishments we may receive are here and now.
