Humanism is (Almost) a Warrior Religion with Joseph Farkas

When: Sunday January 25, 12:30 PM

Due to the winter storm, this Sunday Platform will take place on Zoom only. The event will begin at 12:30pm. RSVP via Eventbrite is required to receive the Zoom link. No in-person attendance will be available.

The promise to escape suffering and death is often a set-piece of traditional religions, while confronting those has been the purview of warrior ethos. Humanism doesn’t offer a way out, but does it describe a way through? Different lenses offer their insights into the Promise of Humanism.
