To promote kindness and tolerance.

You couldn't make it up.

This is the way Dr C likes to rally troops whilst having no intention of getting personally involved.

As for Dr C - I have been unable to unsee that unspeakable (alleged) Grindr profile fetish photo.

Somehow my mind has accidently crossed some wires and I now struggle to keep the doctor and Stephen Port apart...

Sorry Betty
I didn't mean to be goady about your choice of wedding, I got a bit carried away there

Apology unnecessary. It was ages (and a husband ago) 😃

I’m an atheist and it was something a little different to a 5 minute civil quickie (which is what I had for my other two weddings) 😂

I agree that it is really fucking annoying that the humanists (and many supposed sceptics) swallow down the religion of genderism without asking any questions about it at all. It’s another illustration of how it’s a men’s sexual rights movement, I reckon.

Glad I'm not the only one getting the gay cruise ads. Dr Christian is far too smug, he shouldn't be used to endorse anything.

Oh FFS. The Humanists? Isn’t Stewart Lee attached in some way to the Humanist Society? I would LOVE to know his thoughts on all this.

Sorry, forgot screenshots. These tweets.

Gosh, I don't understand the Humanist UK position in this at all. I've just read their tweets and they are ALL about reality, rational thinking, and science. And anti religion and faith-based thinking. They talk about abortion in NI being something "women" need and how it's a Human Rights abuse.

And yet, they take the opposite position on gender ideology... It's so bizarre.

Are they trying to row back from that anti-women stance now? I saw a couple of tweets which suggest they're trying to take a more measured position.

stillathing · 28/01/2019 22:23

oh. i've been quite enjoying those gay cruise ads!

LynetteScavo · 28/01/2019 21:08

He has a funny name for a humanist. Just saying.

I've been getting those ads for ages now. There're so annoying, I've managed not to click so far.

sackrifice · 28/01/2019 20:54

Lol.

Literally getting this ad at the bottom of this page.

Look up 'smug' in the dictionary and its a picture of his face. Urghh.

WrathofRancidKlopp · 28/01/2019 20:32

Imo humanists are the poster boy for liberal, anti religious, touchy feely "aren't we great" school of thought.

To believe that humans are more special than all other living beings is a tragedy for the planet. Billions of humans will eventually turn this planet into a toilet.

Give me spirituality, traditions, ancient myths and animism any day.
And respect for maternal power and fertility.

In theory anyway.

I’ve not forgiven him for his disparaging remarks about breastfeeding mothers (remarks that were in direct opposition to the WHO code) some years ago.

I had a humanist wedding, but fuck these guys now, just another boys club.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 28/01/2019 17:09

Ok hands up now... who tweeted them?

Melroses · 28/01/2019 17:04

Oh dear, oh dear ...

I mentioned this on another thread but in the Christmas Lecture that Alice presented this year the other scientist (sorry, can’t remember her name) was asked to describe a hidden guest based on the information she got from her genome. First thing she established was her sex.

Katispancuddly · 28/01/2019 16:48

What an utter prick

Why is it acceptable for him to say that?

AspieAndProud · 28/01/2019 16:41

I’d love Alice to speak up in the matter.

Igneococcus · 28/01/2019 13:11

Isn't Alice Roberts president of the humanist society?
Is she on Twitter? Maybe somebody could tweet her.

Humanists UK have totally gone over to the extreme Trans ideology and denied science. Their submission to the GRA was total self ID with no checks whatsoever and done by the LGBT section not even the main organisation.

Totally against the foundation of what being a Humanist is which is against ideology and pro science ie that women are adult human females. Lots of humanists have resigned and left. There has been a blame culture by top management very angry at any humanists who speak out. And some internal witch hunting (absolutely disgraceful)

Again to me this initiative shows the links between Trans ideology and paedophile apology which keep happening surprise surprise. The conversations on Twitter involving C Jessen and his support of men having sex with 12 year old girls is saved and is on the Haddock file put together by JSoosty. Now he is supporting the Transgender day. I would not be surprised if P Tatchell was there too (MN passim)

Bowlofbabelfish · 28/01/2019 12:55

Is this the chap who mentioned pissing in the eyes of bigots?

Terribly tolerant of him.

OrchidInTheSun · 28/01/2019 12:51

He hasn't deleted those ones. Girls in Niger are culturally different from ones in the U.K. apparently. Who knew that children's bodies are culturally determined? Hmm

I wonder if they also hold a special service of remembrance for the two women who are murdered each week? Or is that just so much part of the status quo, it's barely worth recording?
