I'm a BRIGHT. How about you? What's a bright? A bright is anyone who has a naturalistic, scientific worldview. Brights don't believe in the supernatural. That means no angels, devils, demons, satans, ghosts, gods, spirits, ad nauseam. We sometimes call ourselves agnostics, atheists, freethinkers, nonbelievers, or skeptics. Check out the Bright web site.

It's the U.S.A.'s 227th birthday. Happy Independence Day! I love this country. That's why we have to save it from the ruin that George W. Bush and the neo-conservative Republican agenda is leading it into.

Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003)
I'm not a celebrity worshipper at all. In fact, I equate the "celebrity ga-ga, National Enquirer" crowd with pathetic people who have no lives. However, I will note the death of Katharine Hepburn on 2003-06-29. She was an admirable person in my opinion. Hepburn lived a very unconventional lifestyle for her time. She co-habitated with Spencer Tracy for many years without being married, quite daring for the 40s, 50s, and 60s. In fact, Tracy was legally married to someone else the entire time. In addition, she was an atheist: "I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for people." Katharine Hepburn was truly ahead of her time. Check out other celebrity nonbelievers here. The celebrity atheist web site only lists the living. Those who are dead are listed here.
