Humanism is a branch of philosophy and ethics that advocates for equality, tolerance and secularism. It recognizes that human beings do not “require” religion in order to develop moral systems or behave morally.
Some people believe in God, but not in Religion.

Some people believe in God, but not in Religion. i think we more than established that in the atheistic humanism thread its premise is "good without God" or human agency determines morality not God or god(s) and that is misleading and completely a waste of ones time...

In your opinion. There are many alternatives, some of us have found them. We are entitled to comment about them, without receiving name calling, put downs or insults. I am a firm believer in free speech.

Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development. Moreover, it has been shown that empowering women spurs productivity and economic growth. Men who adhere to rigid, sexist stereotypes of how to be a man are more likely to use and tolerate violence against women. On the other hand, men with more flexible, gender-equitable ideas about manhood are more likely to treat women with respect. And promoting healthy, more flexible models of masculinity is an important way to end domestic and sexual violence. It is Men who need to change their attitude. Misogyny is evil, no place for it in modern society. An unsavoury relic of the past. misandry can be just as evil...just sayin' Yes, it can be. I agree. You're absolutely right. And no doubt there are many, many documented cases of the evil of misandry in practice. But you would be hard pressed to show that throughout history and even today the scope of cases of the evil of misandry in practice approaches anything near the scope of cases of the evil of misogyny in practice.

I am a firm believer in free speech. no one is limiting free speech here, if you want to talk about that talk to your fellow down under and a couple others on here, not me. i am just providing some alternative feedback however negative it might be...

It is completely wrong to say that Humanism is a farce, an incorrect description.
farce
noun
A comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.
I guess some ignorant people would make the the same claim about Religion. Well mannered people would not do that, shows lack of understanding.

No, just get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7 King James Version 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

No just see it as an alternative.
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost. its not my road its his road. its called the narrow way. if you are not on the narrow way you are considered lost. you at any moment can always hop over to the narrow way if you choose to and honestly want it... Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. and then there is always the wide is the gate and broad is the way conclusion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_road_to_hell_is_paved_with_good_intentions

Your point of view Wally, which of course you are entitled to. There are other beliefs as well, you have to understand that. That conclusion may be good for you, but not for me.
They sure made a big mistake when they did not make you a Worker. You would have been good.

Unfortunately Wally thinks there is only one reference book, the Bible. There are many other good books and of course the internet which is a wealth of information. He needs to widen his knowledge and start respecting alternate beliefs.

He needs to widen his knowledge and start respecting alternate beliefs. for spiritual and a few historical things the bible(yes its not a history book) is the goto book that everyone should follow. we don't need or want any other cunningly devised fables. the internet is a very handy tool but one should always be aware that it can just as easily destroy faith and belief as build it up. there is nothing from the christian standpoint that would lead me to believe we have to respect other alternate belief systems. there is such a thing as tactful but then we all know i prefer the blunt method. right? as to my knowledge base i am just where Christ wants me to be at this moment in time and i do quite well thank you.

Your choice Wally, we respect that. Just don't say that anything else is a farce, unless you take the time and effort to find out about it.
I know how you think, been there, done that. We used to make derogatory comments about other denominations or faiths in our ignorance. I am just so thankful that I got out and explored for myself. Had a great journey, do not regret the decision we made.
I agree there is lots of good stuff in the Bible, I often refer to it. Have 6 in the bottom drawer of my desk, plus Hymn books. The main thing is to put it in perspective, and don't see it as exclusive.

Christianity/Bible is exclusive no one gets to heaven except through Christ, there is no other rational way or position to take on that.

SOMETHING TO PONDER: George Carlin George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent and so very appropriate. An observation by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away. George Carlin
