You Guys Seriously Never Heard of Secular Humanism?

Secular Humanism

It’s pretty much the easiest “religion”. It’s not subjective in the least. Just follow the scientific method as “the Word” and there really shouldn’t be any confusion. Here are the basic tenets found in one of its holy scriptures, Wikipedia:

• Need to test beliefs – A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted on faith.

Except I’m going to have to add here, it’s not just simply accepted on faith- there is NO faith involved. This is also a great example of how “doubt” can actually make you a STRONGER follower.

Couldn't find a pic of a real good Myth busting but this would be a good example if there was one like "Dogs can't catch on fire"

• Reason, evidence, scientific method – A commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence and scientific methods of inquiry, rather than faith, in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.

Not sure why this is a separate idea from the first idea, once again, I’m doubting the scripture but not the algorithm.

• Fulfillment, growth, creativity – A primary concern with fulfillment, growth and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.

Alright, so this could be subjective- but that’s only because of the “Humanism” part which is flavored by cult ure.

I am VERY concerned about the growth of this human being

• Search for truth/education– A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.

Which means you always have to be willing to admit when you’re are wrong, and thus I am a hypocrite…or am I…since I just admitted that…

This is why SH is so cool because even if you admit you’re wrong, you’re right. Sinning is impossible!

If the world were better educated they would know that this is the coolest 2 year old ever

• This life – A concern for this life (as opposed to an afterlife) and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.

Hedonism disguised by pragmatism- one of the real reasons why people subscribe to SH

With a diverse display of gang signs and grandmotherly decor, these guys have an avid apprication for a culture other than their own, even if they have little understanding of it. Throwin up sets like they do after four Twisted Teas and a hit of their mom's oregano.

• Ethics – A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.

Whatever.

• Building a better world – A conviction that with reason, an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.

This tenet is imperative in making SH seem more selfless, if you don’t like humans I suggest you just try the Secular part – Atheism and more shamefully, Agnosticism

Helping make the world a Better Place. Now that's a company with morals!
