Humour was a symptom of their creativity. In contrast, these days, the heirs of the Enlightenment have lost their capacity to laugh - especially at themselves. And that's as sure a sign as any that the Enlightenment is as creatively dead as the proverbial... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (David E Gower) http://canadianskepticsforum.yuku.com/topic/893 Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:35:06 GMT <![CDATA[ The truth in religion ]]> http://canadianskepticsforum.yuku.com/topic/891/t/The-truth-in-religion.html The truth in religion

got Bradlaugh in the end. A slightly later atheist, Bertrand Russell, was
once asked what he would do... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (David E Gower) http://canadianskepticsforum.yuku.com/topic/887 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:28:13 GMT <![CDATA[ How Michel Nostradamus stopped the Randi-Dawkins-Myers Corp. ]]> http://canadianskepticsforum.yuku.com/topic/886/t/How-Michel-Nostradamus-stopped-the-Randi-Dawkins-Myers-Corp-.html

If you are prone to go into fear, you may want to do some deep breathing
