Last night I watched Creation, a film about the life of Charles Darwin and how he came to write On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. What I found especially moving was his own struggle against the authority of religion and the beliefs of his religious wife. With religion he had no qualms, but the fear of breaking his wife’s heart almost stopped him from finishing his book.
I had this very interesting discussion on the article Malum Prohibitum. My opponent was stressing that I had no right to declare any crime as malum in se (wrong or evil in itself) because I could not present an objective point of reference as to what constitutes right and wrong.
Films:
Letting Go of God
Root of All Evil
Enemies of Reason
Sex, Drugs, and Religion
and short films about
Reason
Science
Secularism
Plus a short documentary...
The 2nd Davao Meetup was a success. I wish to thank both new and old members for making it. We had a really great time sharing our journeys and bonding with fellow freethinkers.
