The Brights
Think about your own worldview to decide if it is free of supernatural or mystical deities, forces, and entities. If you decide that you fit the description above, then you are, by definition, a bright!

The Pearlist Persuasion
Physical Evidence and Reasoned Logic (Pearl) supporter, or Pearlist. Some say, "brights", some say, "discredist", we say, "pearlist".

..strikes me as a Pearlist. btw, they're hiring PERL progrmrs in FL. I'm sure around the world.
Joshua Holloway replied to Joshua Holloway's discussion 'The Pearlist Persuasion' in the group The Pearlist Persuasion
The idea, behind refering to oneself as a Pearlist, is to present a clear and consice image, of the way you think, in a professional manner, that does not include any derivatives, of the theist language. It seperates us, from the theist mind set,…

I think it is simpler to say I'm a cool atheist and demonstrate the cool factor. Then I've done all my atheist friends a favor.
Phil commented on Joshua Holloway's group 'The Pearlist Persuasion'
This is the way we need to present ourselves!
I've been annoyed by the term atheism since the Madalyn Murray O'Hair era. To most people, it sounds like an acknowledgment and rejection of an Abrahamic god. We "know who He is but…

I'm still unclear on what the Pearlist Persuasion is? And in your topic you imply that atheism uses the "Christian language." I've only found this true when talking to Christians. Atheism, and associated writings, has been around…
World Walker replied to Joshua Holloway's discussion 'The Pearlist Persuasion' in the group The Pearlist Persuasion
If somebody defined Pearlist and asked if I was one, I'd say yes. But if I said Pearlist, a theist would think "atheist". Can an theist be a Pearlist?
Joshua Holloway replied to Joshua Holloway's discussion 'The Pearlist Persuasion' in the group The Pearlist Persuasion
The fact, that the term "Pearlist" lacks any element of faith, but merely offers insight, into the thought process, of one who refers, to him/herself as such, is what makes it, in my opinion, a much needed alternative, to the the present…
Joshua Holloway commented on Joshua Holloway's group 'The Pearlist Persuasion'
That makes sense. I just think, it makes it easier, for people to understand, where your coming from, if there is a lable, that describes your way of thinking, whether or not you hold to that lable, in the strictest sense. As long as you can…

World Walker replied to Joshua Holloway's discussion 'The Pearlist Persuasion' in the group The Pearlist Persuasion
As mentioned I think catch phrases are doomed. When you make a group that creates a social visibility to a kind of person, some people will notice. But whether Christian groups call themselves Christian or theists organize in a building called a…
World Walker commented on Joshua Holloway's group 'The Pearlist Persuasion'
I don't mind an effort to relabel anything, but I think it's destined to fail because the people who need a different label for the atheists are the other people. I'm not atheist Seth, I'm a collection of details, none of which…

Thanks for the welcome. Interesting concept. *smiles*

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Here's a friendly 'Hi' to Joshua Holloway from Mississippi
We are pleased to welcome you here among the sensible, rational people of this world.
This is the greatest atheist meeting place with its 14,000 bright people like you who recognise religion for the superstition and brainwashing fraud that it is---
and that gods are only fictions inside people's heads.
Terry Meaden
originator of the busy lively discussion group
"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 240 discussion topics.
We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
