Random Acts of Kindness




The Thinking Atheist Podcast show

Summary: Kindness, gentleness, empathy, compassion, love, goodness, morality.  These attributes are often called the property of religion, and beautiful acts of kindness between people actually reflect a moral code given to humanity by the Great Eye in the Sky.<br><br>Of course, this is nonsense.<br><br>We've covered the subject of "Morality" in a previous episode (<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thethinkingatheist/2013/04/09/morality)" rel="noopener">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thethinkingatheist/2013/04/09/morality)</a>.  But the source and nature of morality isn't what tonight's particular show is about.<br><br>Tonight is merely a chance to share stories about helping others, with each example providing encouragement and a reminder that even the smallest gestures can transform someone's world.<br><br>These gestures didn't come about because we were directed to by a "voice" or ancient holy book (in fact, we're glad our morality isn't derived from the bible, Qur'an, etc).  They happened because we sought to provide a human solution to a human problem, and in doing so, we felt the satisfaction and joy of knowing we made a difference.<br><br>Tell us about your random act of kindness (and the reaction that followed).  Email: <a href="mailto:podcast@thethinkingatheist.com">podcast@thethinkingatheist.com</a>
