Why do you hate Secular Humanism?

[Mojotronica]

This is directed at any here who hate secular humanism. Maybe no one here hates Secular Humanism, in which case I expect to watch the thread slowly sink into Page 2 oblivion.

But any here who hate Secular Humanism may use this thread as an opportunity to record the many issues they have with it, which will be a fun project, and I think I'll enjoy reading it.

For purposes of disclosure, I think we are all human here, right? So a philosophy that is human-o-centric makes inherent sense and I don't see anything obviously wrong about it. It's probably more reasonable to be opposed to trees or gold or something.

I don't hate it, but I don't follow it, because it would require me to have faith in humanity.

We're also all atoms, which is why I'm in favor of nuclear energy.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

It is incompatible with my immense misanthropy.

OTOH, we all run on biodiesel. And yet I, at least, oppose all subsidies for the same. What a terrible contradiction is man!

See, this is a pretty obvious attempt to start a vicious fight. The idea being to have somebody religious come in here, make an incendiary statement about atheism, and get an initially dismissive, but eventually sincerely angry response from atheists that will go on for page after tedious page. It's so obvious, I shouldn't even need to point it out, but I did anyway. Why? Because I'm pretty sure one particular religious person will come in here, read this post, and go on to start the stupid fight anyway, in the exact manner predicted. Anybody want to do a pool?

Anyway, it might make a nice change of pace from the usual insulting-to-religious-people, merely-degrading-to-atheists kind of fight we get around here, so carry on.

I hate Secular Humanism because I'm evil.

Let's do an over-under for the number of posts until said poster vomits on the thread (posts made by people in the pool don't count). I'm going with "under 30"

[Elok]

Crap, gotta go teach. I'll say between thirty and forty-five just to make things fun, no money wagered since BK isn't here to come to houses and beat people up when they don't pay.

EDIT: Who wins if this thread just sinks like a rock?

And what would be wrong with it? Except that you would project yourself as superior to everyone else?

Biodiesel give me acid reflux.

[The Mad Monk]

Loin wins!

[Kidlicious]

Yeah, good job Elok. We already lost this one, you back stabber.

[Lorizael]

Right, because he should obviously be projecting Kidicious as superior to everyone else. When will Elok learn to be objective?

[Kidlicious]

Not being a christian lite back stabber would be sufficient. Also not harrassing me everyday. I never even talk about him, yet he has to bring my name up everyday. You're no better either. Can't you think of something intelligent to say?
