I Am A Humanist

I am a Christian and a Humanist. In other words I believe in a world without presuming the existence of a god but I also believe that the teachings of Jesus set out a philosophy of life and ethical values that I have chosen as a guide for my life.

For those for whom belief in a god is not possible. that is a way to live ethically and responsibly. It is an arbitrary choice, as is any ethical choice, but it is the one I have made.

I am tired of hearing fundamentalist Christians say such nonsense that there cannot be any human values without accepting the idea of a god, and that their way is the only way. Why they are unwilling to say that their view is a choice, just as my view is a choice, is what makes their view unpalatable to me and many.

If anyone cares about that idea, try my website: www.christianhumanist.net

I'm not soliciting. I am doing nothing that Christians, fundamentalist Christians, do all the time. They quote from sources, usually the bible, which someone did shortly before this, and I did not see you objecting to him referring people to the bible in a very large banner.

I posted on topic and gave people a resource if they want to pursue that topic. I am not selling shoes.

@Humanist321: you're soliciting. read the guidelines please.

Your question was asked and answered. There is no soliciting. I gain nothing whatsoever if people look for information that simply expands the paragraph if anyone is interested. If you are not interested, don't go there. It is not different than referring people to Romans 13:10. Have you called that soliciting when a fundamentalist refers people to a bible verse? No, I didn't think so. You are just a Christian troll objecting for religious reasons to a humanist statement. btw, read the guidelines, as I have done.

I am curious as to why your profile is blocked so that I cannot see anything about you or your other postings. What are you hiding so that I cannot see anything about you? About me: Before I retired one of the things I did was teach philosophy of religion. What did you do?
