Team #GFGS Returns - Let's Do Something Good Again!
sknight.substack.com
Would anyone like to help me do something good again? Back in 2013 I launched 'Good For Good's Sake'. This came about after being overwhelmed by the level of compassion & activism displayed by those that engage in the online 'atheist community'. I strongly felt that if this shared camaraderie could be channelled in a charitable context, we could really help some people who needed it. As atheists we share only one thing for definite; absence of belief in gods. Our politics, cultural backgrounds and our world-views may differ. Some of you may think Michael Bay makes good films for instance. BUT. There's one thing I feel we could all agree on: the only thing required to be good is the recognition that it is good for its own sake. We don't do good for the promise of eternal life, or post-death reward. We don't do good because it is a doctrinal imperative. We do good because we have empathy, and as conscious creatures, we have concerns for the well-being of our fellow primates across the globe.
