Humanism

The Religion of Humanism

Humanists consider man to be the measure of all things. That is, the human mind is considered to be the ultimate standard by which all claims are judged. Humanism is a religious system, the deity of the worldview being man himself. Humanists hold their views with zeal and conviction.

As the 2010 humanist of the year, Bill Nye, “The Science Guy” of PBS TV, can’t afford to consider the merits of a worldview that calls his core beliefs into question. His claim: America can’t be competitive in technology unless it teaches kids evolution as fact.

The Good Book: A Humanist Bible by atheist philosopher A.C. Grayling is being billed as if it is an inspirational collection of ethical tidbits. Grayling’s humanistic book presents the ideas most closely held by evolutionists in a flowery poetical way.

Postmodernism

At the heart of postmodernism is a war for the definition of truth and for the authority to determine what is truth. The subtle ways in which some Christians have adopted postmodern ideals do a great deal of harm. These believers have given up certain parts of the ultimate truth of Scripture.
