Robert Richert will speak at the club’s March 6 meeting

HUMANIST ASSOCIATION

Most people believe that strong religious faith and morality are conjoined; you cannot have one without the other. Many argue that without an absolute standard for morality anything goes, and this results in a state of moral degeneration. Are these statements true? Leisure World Humanist Association President Dave Silva and longtime Humanist activist, public speaker and writer Robert Richert will lead a group discussion on the subject of ethics at the Humanist Association’s next meeting on Sunday, March 6, at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Before the meeting, members will receive an email with Richert’s attached article, “A Humanist Examination of Ethics.” Non-members can contact Silva for copies. Richert’s article reviews secular-based ethics, and addresses the question, “Does atheism and Humanism lead to moral decline?” During the meeting Silva will present additional information, and he and Robert will briefly highlight the issues. Members and guests are encouraged to share their own insights on the issue.
