Secular Humanism - Exclusion Of God Secular Humanism is an attempt to function as a civilized society with the exclusion of God and His moral principles. During the last several decades, Humanists have been very successful in propagating their beliefs. Their primary approach is to target the youth through the public school system. Humanist Charles F. Potter writes, "Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" (Charles F. Potter, "Humanism: A New Religion," 1930) John J. Dunphy, in his award winning essay, The Humanist (1983), illustrates this strategic focus, "The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: A religion of humanity utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to carry humanist values into wherever they teach. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism." Is this what's happening? John Dewey, remembered for his efforts in establishing America's current educational systems, was one of the chief signers of the 1933

David Blacker / EDUCATION AS THE NORMATIVE DIMENSION OF PHILOSOPHICAL HERMENEUTI An article by David Blacker, that attempts to renew a dialogicallygrounded humanism, an old educational ideal that finds the beginnings of a compelling and novel defense in the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/COE/EPS/PES-Yearbook/93_docs/BLACKER.HTM

EDUCATION AS THE NORMATIVE DIMENSION OF PHILOSOPHICAL HERMENEUTICS David Blacker University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign A recent Business Week proponents some part of education that has reasons of its own, some part that is worthwhile not because of the commodities it procures nor even the sorts of citizens it creates. It is also to suggest that we are dangerously close to losing that vision, even as our need for it grows ever more urgent. But how might such a vision be articulated, without being called idealistic or, even worse, being labelled reactionary, in a political sense? as such against those who would justify it on narrowly utilitarian grounds. But that is not all. Gadamer argues that we miss the phenomenon completely when we think of education [ Bildung education uses us . Consequently, although we may be said to allow it to happen in certain ways, education as Bildung eludes us when we obtrude too severely on its proper sphere. In what follows, I will attempt to show how Gadamer makes sense of these bizarre claims. context Gadamer at once appropriates this old interpretive tradition, one that extends at least to the hermeneutics of Biblical exegesis in the Middle Ages, and takes it beyond the narrow confines of the interpretation of sacred texts. He claims that this basic whole-part circular structure characterizes

106. Teaching Christian Humanism A proposal to teach Christian humanism as a tradition within Christianity. http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft9605/opinion/nemoianu.html

Opinion Virgil Nemoianu First Things 63 (May 1996): 16-22. Teaching Christian Humanism Once we've denounced the balderdash that all too often passes for teaching in contemporary American colleges, there still remains the question of what we ought to teach instead. Indignation is an insufficient alternative to the brutal secularization of the college curriculum. But some conservative commentators, after narrating all the outrageous anecdotes, seem baffled for a positive program of cultural education, and others even seem positively anticultural-as though willing to admit that the ideologies of the secularists are what constitute the humanities. The opposite is, of course, the actual case: the humanities were born of-and, by right, still belong to-a Christian religious tradition. They have always had as their goal the reconciliation between human solidarity on the one hand and the dignity of individual, concrete persons, situations, and facts on the other. The possibility of religious transcendence was "always already" (to speak with the deconstructionists) part of the whole project. This is why we urgently need college courses today on Christian humanism. Some students will undoubtedly mistrust the humanism of such classes, and many more will mistrust their Christianity. But Christian humanism is properly nothing but a reclaiming of the basic inheritance of our history and the natural connection of culture with the religious vistas of the human being. The current separation is the artificial relation, not the other way around. My own suggestions for a syllabus of Christian humanism are certainly not cast in stone. I mean them more as a spur to further reflection than as a map. I, for one, would try to tell my students most of the following.

109. Panentheism Christian Existential humanism is Panentheistic in as much as it considers both Therefore Christian Existential humanism could also be described as http://ceh.kitoba.com/topics/panentheism.html

Back to the Christian Existential Humanist Web Panentheism and Christian Existential Humanism (1/6/05) Panentheism is the doctrine that everything in the world is a part of God, but that God is also more than the sum of everything in the world (this distinguishes it from Pantheism , which views God as synonymous with the universe). When it occurs as a part of Christian theology (which it does in the Eastern Orthodox church), it is generally linked with the concept of "Continuous Creation", which holds that the continued existence of the universe is dependent on the active will of God. Christian Existential Humanism is Panentheistic in as much as it considers both personal individuality and communal experience as having origins in the larger unity of God. The Panentheistic influence in CEH stems from the Emergentist principle that the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Therefore Christian Existential Humanism could also be described as "Christian Emergent Panentheism". It is important to note, however, that CEH departs in some areas from earlier versions of Christian Panentheism. In particular, the chief problem for any Panentheistic doctrine that also assumes a wholly good and perfect God is to explain the existence of evil in the world. From the point of view of Christian Existential Humanism, evil is a largely illusionary phenomena caused by incompleteness and by imperfect structure. Only God is perfect and only God is perfectly good, because only God contains the totality of all things. Everything else in the world is an incomplete and imperfect fraction of existential experience. When such pieces of existence line up in the wrong way, the result is perceived as evil.

The Center for Religious Humanism is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a deeper engagement between faith and culture. In a time that is overshadowed by the politicization of everyday life, where the "culture wars" pit ideologues from Left and Right against one another, there is an urgent need to restore the tradition of religious humanism. The term "religious humanism" suggests a tension between two opposed terms—between heaven and earth. But it is a creative, rather than a deconstructive, tension. Perhaps the best analogy for understanding religious humanism comes from the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, which holds that Jesus was both human and divine. This paradoxical meeting of these two natures is the pattern by which we can begin to understand the many dualities we experience in life: flesh and spirit, nature and grace, God and Caesar, faith and reason, justice and mercy. Religious Humanism is characterized by a stance that balances commitment to the historic truths of biblical religion with openness to the world;

Retrieved [date], from http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/affsys/humed.html Return to: The Affective System Humanism is a school of thought that believes human beings are different from other species and possess capacities not found in animals (Edwords, 1989). Humanists, therefore, give primacy to the study of human needs and interests. A central assumption is that human beings behave out of intentionality and values (Kurtz, 2000). This is in contrast to the beliefs of operant conditioning theorists who believe that all behavior is the result of the application of consequences or to the beliefs of cognitive psychologists who hold that the discovery or the making of meaning is a primary factor in human learning. Humanists also believe that it is necessary to study the person as a whole, especially as an individual grows and develops over the lifespan. The study of the self, motivation, and goal-setting are also areas of special interest. As with other approaches to learning and development that we have studied, there are a variety of viewpoints within this tradition. The dominant view is called modern or naturalistic humanism and traces its lineage to Aristotle and Socrates (Gogineni, 2000). It is defined as "a naturalistic philosophy that rejects all supernaturalism and relies primarily upon reason and science, democracy and human compassion" (Lamont, as cited in Edwords, 1989). It is thus described as anthropocentric or human-centered.

Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. Thomas Jefferson, to his nephew Peter Carr in 1787 ( source Welcome to Secular Humanism Worldwide. The purpose of this page is to promote the presence of naturalism rationalism freethought , and skepticism in society via the Internet. This place is intended for anyone who is inherently curious and enjoys discussing the bigger questions in life. Open-mindedness is a requirement because traditional ideas and values may be challenged. Naturalists, such as secular humanists , believe that the supernatural plays no part in our world because the supernatural itself does not exist. All religions involve the supernatural to some degree; therefore, secular humanists reject them in preference of a more convincing philosophy. We believe that God is a creation of man not that man is a creation of God. Mankind, without gods, must rely on itself to improve its condition; so while the rest of society prays for poverty and suffering to end in the world, humanists prefer to go out and do something about it. LATEST UPDATE: Wrote "On Missionaries" in the "For Humanists" section. I have also been mulling over some ideas as of late. High on my agenda is to improve a few sections that have been nagging me ever since I wrote them.

Robert Ashby While atheism is merely the absence of belief, humanism is a positive attitude to the world, centred on human experience, thought, and hopes. The British Humanist Association and The International Humanist and Ethical Union use similar emblems showing a stylised human figure reaching out to achieve its full potential. Humanists believe that human experience and rational thinking provide the only source of both knowledge and a moral code to live by. They reject the idea of knowledge "revealed" to human beings by gods, or in special books. "Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. "It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities.

Other Christian Character Topics This AG Perspective reflects commonly held beliefs based on scripture which have been endorsed by the church's Commission on Doctrinal Purity and the Executive Presbytery. What does the Bible say about the beliefs of secular humanism and the New Age movement? At the center of this fatal evolutionary belief is the teaching that there is no God or personal Creator (atheism), and that humans are the apex of all reality. Its subtly appeals to many by saying that all humans are innately good (ignoring the Fall of the human race) and have unlimited potential to evolve into perfect creatures. Humanism teaches total self-sufficiency, completely denying any need for Deity. The New Age movement has kindred elements with secular humanism. The movement maintains that humankind stands at the threshold of a "new age" toward which individuals now must evolve mentally and spiritually. New Age evangelists proclaim that the good within all people is actually the dormant god existing in each person. The New Age goal is to awaken the god who sleeps deep within each human. In order to realize this false spiritual state, a new consciousness is needed to usher in a worldwide transformation of individuals and society, as people come to realize that they themselves are gods and therefore divine. Interestingly, what is called "new" in the western world has influences from ancient eastern philosophy.

The hallmark of the early church and its members was a radical nonconformity to society and its mores. The Apostle Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19) and about 12 believers, in the space of just two years, turned this centre of pagan worship upside down. They caused such a disturbance that their actions led the local trades' people to riot because the numbers of people who were becoming Christians threatened their livelihood. In many parts of the Roman Empire, Christians willingly died for their belief in a Saviour who set captives free and changed lives that were formally enslaved in all manner of destructive and fruitless human pursuits. The Church was a force that fomented change. The followers of Jesus Christ were dangerous people. They upset kingdoms, they battled principalities (both natural and spiritual) they took the good news of the Gospel seriously and set about changing things. I read a statement recently that got me thinking. "The world can do almost anything as well or better than the church. You need not be a Christian to build houses, feed the hungry, or heal the sick. There is only one thing that world cannot do. It cannot offer grace"
