And I’m proud of it…

There’s a meme going around about Brights - atheists, or what I would call the secular (people who don’t believe in God or the supernatural), who don’t want to be called atheists, but rather prefer to be called Brights. I’m still trying to catch up on the reading, so this post is more for my assistance, by lumping the links I’ve found in one spot. Once I’ve read all the stuff, I plan to speak my piece about it, because you know I’m going to have a strong opinion on this one.

Later: Thanks to Jared for pointing out my typo. I noticed it as I was shutting down the window before leaving work. It was one of those instinctual typing things...the i before the e.

Dave, while I agree somewhat that it’s really a non-issue, it’s got legs for now and since it’s a bit of a hot button for me, it’s too tempting for me to just let it lie. That’s partly why I gathered the links - I’ll do the reading and I’m hoping that after a couple days it’ll have died down enough in the blogosphere that I won’t post on it. It will be old news. But I have some initial thoughts, and I didn’t want to lose them. Hence this reminder post to myself.
