 				After,
“I don't believe …,” what do we say?	
 




	Recently in both
the book discussion about Greg Epstein's “Good Without God” and
after Robert Tapp's talk at our April meeting questions arose about
defintions of  “secular” and “spiritual”  These were lively
discussions but no one will be surprised to hear there were no simple
conclusions.  But perhaps bringing out ideas about these concepts is,
itself, the important thing.  

	Today we'll
continue the discussion and, perhaps, get to a few more of the touchy
ideas like “agnoticism, atheism and purpose.”  There are also a
couple of video's related to defining or explaining important ideas
that we probably mostly take for granted like self and mind.  These
are listed below.
