My son taught me to be a humanist when he was seven years old. He got us both kicked out of Baptist church Sunday school because he presented such compelling arguments about how Noah and the flood never happened. It couldn't have happened, and it was utter nonsense to believe a word of it. He convinced almost all the other kids in the class that it is a fable, and I refused to tell him he was wrong (he wasn't!). Once I took blind faith out of the equation, I saw no reason to waste another minute at church (we were no longer welcome anyhow). I actually read the bible more now, but it's to educate myself on what cruel and senseless lies most people choose to believe.

Other than technological advances, how has science made this world a better place? How does science solve issues like human trafficking, terrorism, suicide, child abuse, mass killings?

[@IForgetWhatISay]

@AllStar Smiles 4 Kids look up the venus project. Jaque fresco spent his whole life designing and updating cities using all the advances we now have in science and technology with a humanistic approach.

good

[@AHAHAHHAHA]

People have different ideas of morality,so which one is the correct one?You can make it easy by saying your religion knows best but there are so many religions that it’s impossible to know for sure that we picked the right one. God is used to give the position authority but what if it’s wrong?Then teh wrong position will be protected by gods and extremely hard to question.We don’t what that! If we each speak from our humble human perspective we won’t have the authority or protection of god and will be actually able to discuss what’s best based on our worldview.

[@aguilaaficionado]

Humanist... "we all have the capacity to do good"... The truth is we ALL can't live one day without doing bad. Except for one man that walked this planet aprox 2k years ago. Jesus Is King!

[@kylee243]

What about all the gods who walked before him. Egyptians, Roman's, Buddha and the 100,000 years before that or so.. Seems like it's just another way to control populations with fear.

[@Hebrews123]

Faith is believing in something you can’t see

[@agathabooks9578]

I still get my inspiration from Jesus. I will be a Christian Humanist. ✝️

[@skylarsoup]

[@user-mv2jm4ff2o]

Finally I found a Religion of my type Earlier A Hindu now a Humanist 🙏

[@hatax7395]

Humanisme is a religion now lol?

[@petermeyer6873]

Well, Paul Tobin gives a quite comprehensive and specific definition of the term "Humanism", here. Unfortunately, this is exactly what makes his definition wrong: He just gives us a definition of his very personal branch of humanism, trying to kidnapp the term. Here comes the correct definition for all those having been confused by him: "Humanism is the sum of all worldviews/philosophical branches, that have the human in focus". It is actually that easy! And there is quite a lot subsets of humanism out there: Marxism, Socialism e.g. to name just the most prominent. Btw, when the word "humane" is used as somethig of virtue or higher value without even given the slightest clue why that would be, then it is just so: There isnt any explanation for this! That is the achilles heel of all forms of Humanism: Its like a religion, just having the god subtracted from the equation, but the equation still doesnt add up. One still is forced to believe in a groundless premise, only that this time around the premise is not: "Because of god ... you have to obey our rules", it is: "Because of beeing a human ... you have to obey our rules".

[@Lostfolkway]

I totally Agree. I usually Call myself an Secular Humanist I don't Really Rely on a God for Help. But, I'm not Really Sure of a God or Supernatural Being. Because In my Thinking How Can Flying Spiritual High Beings Be Existential? I do try To Prove Every answer Any Stranger Asks Me And Back Them Up With Knowledge Of These Things But Anyway, sorry for the long Comment I just want to say That I agree With Humanism.

[@BoB-bx9gh]

The music added great affect to what you were saying.

[@johncherry2205]

Humanism, is basically Christianity without God. Where did Love, morality and goodness come from? It didn't just evolve from itself.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

It's how mammals rear their young until they are big enough to fend for themself. Also, it's for continued procreation of the species or we go extinct.

[@neiloshodges2816]

This makes perfect sense to me.

[@sikandersingh5552]

Nice video sir

[@MisMediator]

Not to be rude, but this seems more like ideology than religion. Just... common sense. Humans be kind, work hard, help those in need. I completely agree with what he's saying, but I don't understand how it's a religion?

[@asherfatin7899]

its not a religion

[@robschebel7200]

In the video, Mr. Tobin explains that humanism is a "philosophy and a lifestance." He doesn't say that it's a religion. Of course, the difference between a philosophy and a religion is complex, but in simplified terms, we might say that a religion usually involves the worship of a god or gods and involves faith. A philosophy does not usually involve the worship of dieties and usually holds reason to be a better guide to truth than faith. But, again, this is speaking very generally. My sense is that, while religious humanism has existed in the past, most modern day humanists would say that humanism is not a religion.

We belive in kindness

[@bloodonourhandsgodonoursid7527]

sorry but how did you come to the conclusion that its a religion??is it a fact that if you believe something it has to be a religion? well i believe that my left testacle is itching so is that religion too?no its not its nothing to do with religion religion has to have a divine being or substantial other to work,..this is not a fookin religion,..its just accepting that you are a human animal,..and displaying ultimate compassion for what happens around you,..

[@BestBibleStories]

wow. that's some real garbage right there.

[@jshir17]

Secular and humanists have spent long enough apologizing for being who they are and explaining away their views. It is time to go on the Offensive against ideologies (or perhaps, pathologies) like Christianity and Accuse them of being responsible for eugenics, sterilization, birth control, abortion (as Thomas Malthus an Anglican Minister founded the idea of Population Control), homosexuality (grew out of Western Christendom, not atheism or minor peace religions like Judaism & Jainism), that the religious right is to blame for "moral relativism," "situation ethics," and the loss of "absolute truth" as Christians apply 1 standard to themselves "We are under grace," and a double standard to others "they are under law" while Secularists/humanists are the ones who believe in Truth/Intellectual Honesty & Universal ethics of right and wrong that applies equally to everyone. Evolution was developed by Darwin (who came from a conservative Christian family & also led to in part to Nazism). Conservative Christians in the Midwest/Southern U.S. are the ones with the highest divorce rates, more domestic abuse, higher crime rates, lower educational outcomes, etc and thus they are to blame for the breakdown of the traditional family and American culture, not "coastal liberals."The more Christian a segment of society is like African-Americans or Latinos, the higher their crimes rates, lower their productivity, etc. While the less religious Asians & Jews have the lowest crime rates and highest achievement rates. Countries with greater saturation of Christianity like Latin America & China are more corrupt, crime-infested, and so on... Less religious countries like Switzerland, Holland, Japan, etc rank better on health, education, crime, etc. It seems that Israel is the only religious country that does well because of its Jewish religion.

Humanism just sounds like another way of saying atheism with a few extra rules

[@CheeHoewCheng]

It's atheism with a code of conduct.
