Thanks for posting that. What an excellent web site resource!

" We who are nonreligious accept that our lives are finite. We die. However, we do not accept the notion that something must last forever to be valuable. The embraces we share with our lovers and the hugs we share with our children are precious even if they are not everlasting. The value of love is not measured by a calendar.

The death of a loved one can be heartbreaking. Contemplating our own deaths can produce anxiety. So it is perfectly understandable that many wish that they and those close to them could somehow survive their deaths. Wishes are not the best guides for life, however."

A good place to follow progress on such issues as

Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Obama

Thanks for presenting that excellent moral resource to us.
