In Memory of Paul Kurtz

Paul Kurtz, the father of modern secular humanism, the founder of the Center for Inquiry, of the Council for Secular Humanism and many other important organizations, author of many key books, a highly honored philosopher and professor emeritus at the University of Buffalo, the creator of Free Inquiry, a good friend and great man, has just died.


This is very sad news for both the freethinking and the skeptical communities.


Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

This has gone too far! I'm calling for a moratorium on the death of important people. You know who you are.
