Excellent. No one needs a god to inform them of ethics or morality.

the primary issue i have is with "rationality" being the be-all end-all. i am not religious, i don't subscribe to "magical" thinking, and i see myself as a very critical thinker. as such, i always find it interesting how so many humanists and atheists treat rationality (and Science) like a religion. as if everything in the universe needs to be broken down and described in an equation; shoehorned into whatever is accepted as "science" at the time. things like intuition, common sense, contextual observation, inherent biases, etc, seem to be ignored or dismissed. the fact that new scientific discoveries frequently contradict the currently accepted "laws of science" doesn't seem to stop folks from dogmatically referring to those "laws" as infallible. what i have asked my humanist friends: what is the "formula" for a tree?

It Is really an enriching video yeah it really increased the ambiguities around this concept

What a load of nonsense.

don't you mean assisted suicide

I guess that the majority of Noble Prizes being Believers are not rational then

I'm here 4 this!!!

I dont have against in humanism but there are some facts about that are not beyond their control like God is not exists.. Well just ask themselves how does they made and if they answer "by parents" well then where they came from??

With Christians supporting political immorality candidates and supporting ancient scriptures like STAND WITH ISRAEL , I knew this wasn't for me. I am 71 and no way would I support GENOCIDE!

Also known as common sense.

You are discribing a liberalist, not a humanist.

Humanists can be religious, can have political opinions and the climate has no need to be mentioned. Socially responsible, really? Humanists can sit on their couch doing nothing for society just like most people. Humanism at its nutshell is the belief that humans are the most important creatures on the planet.

This is not true.

Humanism is based on self-deception and enables cruelty. We’re destroying everything. We’re selectively empathetic towards our own suffering vs the suffering of the planet and other animals. We don’t see the fragility of our own human nature. We’re animalistic and we shouldn’t forget that. If anything civilisations has done is suppressed our animalistic nature, not transcended it.

I would love to become involved but the nearest group is over 60 miles away.

Lmao. Id say i am a humanist but I do not support any of the issues that flashed on the screen. How is the murder of innocent children a humanist issue? Freedom of belief? thats totally unenforceable. Its freedom of expression.

I don't know if you can get involved or join a movement into something that always existed, as you said. Wich means a time before political (democratic) economics. I don't get the logic. I think you simply are humanist by practicing not joining. Maybe I'm a bit too anarchistic on this one but it feels like you wanna make an economic hierarchical system out of it wich I can't agree with. Cause it's not about the money, Organisation n sht. Humanism should be autonomous because of the responsibility you carry with yourself. At the end you use a well made video about humanism as an advertisement for your "company". And they way you made it is like a Christian advertisement.

Nice video trying to define "humanism". Could have been more complete if it wasnt so narrowed in on the more modern branches and contained the historically more successfull examples for humanistic branches like socialism and communism and not so recent figures like Marx, Hittler, Stalin, Mao, Il...

Humanism yes, woke no, please explain how humanists are not religious, granted not all are or have been, but also many have been religious leaders, ie: Thomas More, a Great humanist, can humanist still be religious, or has that ship sailed with the times and is irrelevant??? Scotia gae brah! much love and support. but what this video refers to is secular humanism, not humanism, which was represented by both religious and non religious humans, i am not religious myself but love philosophy and history, so just curious about your representation as blanket fact. thank you for your insights on this question.

Basically a decent person. Yawn.

I believe this is inaccurate when it comes to beliefs about religion. The humanist ideals is based on actions with each other and individual religious beliefs are held sacred and respected by the individual. When you speak about humanism and then speak about religion and say humanists arent religious then you have dabbled in being a religion yourself.

Mr. Norman Dodd, former director of the Congressional Committee, identified the source of some of these trends (Socialist, Liberal trends) when he testified before the Illinois Joint Legislative Committee on Regional Government, in 1978. He testified about the trustees of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who realized that "... they must control education in this country. So they approach[ed] the Rockefeller Foundation with the suggestion that the task be divided between the two of them. The Carnegie Endowment takes on that aspect of education that has a tinge of international significance and the Rockefeller Foundation takes on that portion of education which is domestic in this relationship." Congressman Eugene Cox confirmed Mr. Dodd's conclusions when he testified: "The Rockefeller Foundation's funds have been used to finance individuals and organizations whose business it has been to get communism into the private and public schools of this country. "But the planners faced an immense problem. The American public was not ready to accept the introduction of communism into the school systems of the nation. The plan was to change the name, but not the basic philosophy, so that the American people would allow it to be taught in their schools. The new name of the communist philospophy became Secular Humanism. Secular is defined by the dictionary as being: "of or relating to worldly things as distinguished from things relating to church and religion; worldly." Humanism has been defined by the American Humanist Association as: "the belief that man shapes his own destiny. It is a constructive philospohy, a non-theistic religion, a way of life." Notice that Humanism, according to its own publications, is also a religion, a new way of living in and looking at the world. Karl Marx was one of the first to link the philosophy of Communism with the philosophy of Humanism, when he said: "Communism as a fully developed naturalism is Humanism. "And again: "Humanism is the denial of God, and the total affirmation of man. Humanism is nothing else but Marxism."And in 1970, the New Program of the Communist Party, U.S.A., stated that: "Marxism is not only rational, it is humanist in the best and most profound meaning of the term."

Simply put....humanists are anti Christian. And only Christian.

1. Every human should be given the freedom and opportunity to live their life to the fullest while respecting and protecting the rights of others and the planet. Why? This is an assertion without any logical basis. Also what if somebody living their life to the fullest conflicts with the rights of others or the planet? And how do you define what the rights of others are - let alone the planet?!? What a childish and superficial philosophical and ethical system this is!

It tells a lot of detail about what a humanist is so its good (from 9-y-o Flynn)

Humaniust: Anyone who's Intelligent enough to see Religion is the biggest obstacle in Humanity's progress. Greetings from Iran where Religion has been used as a Weapon of Oppression.

Very interesting piece from prof Curtice as always. One day soon I hope we can send children to school regardless of their parent’s religion. Why we still segregate children like this is 21st century Scotland is beyond me.

Not related, but Sean's soooo cuute!!! I can't... And great voice btw

Human is humanist

Thank you so much ma'am 😘💖😘💖😘💖💖😘💖

Actually, humanism means that you believe Jesus was human. This does not deny Jesus' divine nature, but it merely prescribes that humanity has a divine spark and that Jesus, as a human, perfectly captured that spark, by sacreficing himself. He did so guided by God, which is the psychological projection of the human will to survive, thrive, make wonders and connect all conciousness. Jesus could've called for civil war like Barrabas. But instead he chose crucefixion, so that all might see Jesus suffer, imprint the cross on their minds, and harm eachother no more, as we are filled with regret, and fear that Adonai will have revenge for His Son, but we are forgiven by the Lord, because of our brash, lowly nature, being descended from apes, 'we cannot have nice things'. Also the story of Adam and Eve and Sons is more about monogamy than anything else. 'Eating fruit of the forbidden tree' is chiefly a reference to adultery. Once you realize Jesus was human, you realize the potential in humanity itself. When humans aspire to co-create with eachother and with the Creator, when humans take responsability for their potential position, the divine spark will be a light that drives out all ignorance. Jesus was born in the Age of Fishes. Now it is the Age of The Man Who Carries Water. Incidently, since the beginning of Aquarius' age, men have begun to politically 'carry water' for women' rights. The issue of literally carrying water being gendered is in dispute, and now sometimes the man will carry water from the well, because she can or will not. She has always carried the water, but now he is less and less ashamed to carry water for her, and reaping the rewards of a more equitable society. Humans need fair play in order to thrive. Religious people refuse to see divinity in humanity, saying we are too fallen to enter Divine domain. Well, certainly with that attitude, humanists say. The most important thing in the world is the human man, because it connects with the the eternal and divine. I look at the stars and I see my creator looking back at me, a male creator in a sea of female energy. Jesus 'carried water' for an adulteress, saying 'he who us sinless, cast the first stone'. I hope that we carry water for eachother evermore, in every sense.

Please share my two brief videos with other people. Thanks!

🤔 *czcams.com/video/7d16CpWp-ok/video.html* *The source called the SOUL needs to be highlighted as a most intriguing matter.*

😂 *Utter nonsense.* So lame, all those explanations, cheap shots. 🤔 *czcams.com/video/7d16CpWp-ok/video.html* Stealing everything good that religion has established as key principles. Looks like plagiarism, I've seen good humans in religious settings. *The source called the SOUL needs to be highlighted as a most intriguing matter.*

So Humanism is basically axiomatic. I have been one most of my life without knowing.

Rickey Garvais is not a humanist. He doest respect the rights of everyone.

So are humanists like atheist? What is the difference between the two if anyone can answer this?

So like you're saying humanists are just people...thx

Beautiful

Greetings from Scandinavia! I wish you all good health and happiness!

The honest laughter of an irreverent child can shake the foundations of centuries of oppression - this is why they told us we should be seen, but not heard. Thank you, Sean.

nice dear.

Delighted to hear...

they do have a choice...abstinence or contraception. The function of sex is to reproduce so you have the CHOICE not to have sex if you don't want children....TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your actions women
