The Brights
http://www.the-brights.net/ Thought it was appropriate to post this since we've been hitting so many spiritual/scientific worldview topics lately. They're trying to introduce a new meme: A Bright -- a person with a naturalistic worldview A Bright's worldview is free of supernatural and mystical elements. The ethics and actions of a Bright are based on a naturalistic worldview. Are you a Bright? Think about your own worldview to decide if it is indeed free of supernatural or mystical deities, forces, and entities. Check the wording in the definition and description (above ). Important terms used are below: naturalistic: conceiving of reality as the natural world as it is known and experienced scientifically (no supernatural) worldview: the overall perspective from which one sees and interprets the world; a set of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or group If you decide that you fit the definition, then you can simply say so and join with us in this extraordinary effort to change the thinking of society--the Brights' Movement. If successful, these early efforts of ours could have a far-reaching effect somewhat akin to the eventual impact of McDonalds having cooked its first hamburger. _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
