It sure was fun talking about things I really haven’t talked much about in a while. It’s nice seeing my old friends trickling in to the blog again, too. Plus some new names–those never stopped, though, amazingly.
My article on death and the soul (or lack thereof) is in today’s issue of the Humanist Network News. As you can see, I used Dale’s symphony analogy (and quoted him, giving him proper credit) for the title.
Thanks for all your thoughts on the last two posts! They were amazing to [...]
This topic and all the comments it generated in the last post has been fascinating. I am writing next week’s HNN article about it right now. I’ve grown curious to know how many of you believe in the continued existence of the soul after death. Even more than that I wonder if [...]
For most of us, death is the most difficult subject of all for non-believing parents. I got this request from a new reader:
Hi Noell
I happened upon your website as I was searching for input on how to respond to as question my children seem to be very close to asking….What happens to people when [...]
Have you ever let the common phrase, “Have fun!” slip out when the recipient is headed out for a funeral? I have. And while I wouldn’t call Saturday’s funeral for my husband’s uncle fun, I can say that it was a purely enjoyable day. Beautiful, moving, emotional, sad, but enjoyable.

I have been checking out your site. I have a question for you, do you know how old you will be when you die? Will you be 70 or 45?
Did you know 155,000 people die every day. That is right ten out of ten [...]
I have a request for a discussion topic. From Hifi:
I would be interested in hearing here from anyone else as to how they approach the subject of death with their children. How do you do it? If you don’t have children, what is your own view?
I would be interested in hearing here [...]
You’ve heard of Supply-Side Economics? How about Supply Side Religion? Let me explain.
In a comment on AgnosticMom, Hifi posted a link to an article from the Humanist Network News with the title, “Church of England Report: Youth No Longer Need Supernatural Props.”
While the topic of the article is worthy of our [...]
The first thing I said to my husband today, when he got out of bed and greeted me in the kitchen, was, “They closed the hospital ER for 3 hours yesterday because it was so over-crowded.”
