- This is off the topic, but I'm stumped about a definition for "Secular Humanism." Does
- a generally-accepted definition exist? How does CODESH define it, and for that matter,

- In short, just what IS secular humanism? How does it relate to paranormality?
- If I'm tempting a flame war, or this is an FAQ, I'd appreciate mail.
