    Bridging the Communication Gap

    The upcoming holidays presents many of us with a problem –dealing with people who may have ideas directly opposed to our own.  Is there a way for people with very different ideas to getbeyond conflict?   How can we speak to people who have beliefs that are verydifferent than our own respectfully, and in way that connects?   And how can an approach informed by Naturalistic Humanism help?

    God and Judgmental Thinking part 2

    Many people think of God as being infinitely loving andbenevolent.  But to millions of Americans, God is about order, power, authority, and punishment for those who offend him.   This is the god widely worshiped on the Christian right, partially explaining why our president continues to be supported by the religious right no matter how narcissistic,authoritarian, or capriciously he behaves. But is it possible to re-imagine God in waysthat are compatible with Naturalistic Humanism?
