THE GAY & LESBIAN HUMANIST ASSOCIATION (GALHA) a powerful and brave group promoting Humanism for the gay community are well worth a visit at http://www.galha.org/

My review of a talk by a member of GALHA is at gay.humanists.htm

You might also like to consider including a link to GALHA's associated charity the Pink Triangle Trust (PTT) which arranges affirmation ceremonies nationwide for lesbian and gay couples as the alternative to the gay Christian "blessing" and publishes the quarterly magazine 'Gay & Lesbian Humanist' - the only one of its kind for gay and lesbian unbelievers worldwide. The PTT site is: http://visitweb.com/ptt.

Famous Dead Atheists Some surprising inclusions.

www.progressivehumanism.com - Carl Coon's American Humanism web site, highly informative, with its relevent look at the current U.S. political and cultural scene.

Atheist Fortune Cookies! Quotations, found in an irritating fortune cookie novelty fashion, but good selection nevertheless.

Ex-Christian Mailing List people who did believe, but don't any more, but a few might not necessarily be humanists either. .

The Other Side - Chris Ashton's viewson afterlife, Jesus, God, Bible, etc. Thoughtful arguementative style.

#Bible-Debate page - Good place to argue on many aspects of theology, and Bible study for non-believers especially.

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Clarence_Wilson Humanism web site that gives details of events at other U.K. Humanist groups, too, i.e., The Harrow, London Humanists. Concise, compact and neatly presented.

SKEPTICISM LINKS

CHURCH OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER (PASTAFARIANISM) Great spoof religion that actually starts to sound very Humanistic. An absolute must for a visit. http://www.venganza.org/

THE SKEPTIC - Leading UK journal on all things skeptical - www.cs.man.ac.uk/skeptic

. http://www.capalert.com/ - My favourite bad site - An extreme Christian morality site that reviews current movies by how close or more often far they are from Christian values - they count literallyu every swear word, every moment of God's name being taken in vein, every act of violence, etc and sex and then try to shock us by describing them to us as graphically as possible - Star Wars The Phantom menace, South park The Movie, and Sleepy Hollow, all fine films come under fire but they liked Mary Poppins. Dogma - Their reviewer walked out in shock half an hour into the film - if they don't like a film, chances are you'll love it - planning a trip to the cinema - let them be your guides. Laughable in the extreme.
