Bible
In order to better understand the
meaning of the term secular humanism we
need to break the term down. First, secular means worldly or that which
opposes the spiritual and sacred.
Secondly, the word human means
a person or people. Thirdly, the suffix ism means how one thinks. So, secular humanism is the thought process
of a person who opposes that which is spiritual or sacred.
Some of the secular
humanists beliefs would be hilarious if it wasn’t so serious. For example…
· Secular
humanists believe that there are no absolutes.
If there are no absolutes, how can they say absolutely that there are
none?
· Another
belief of secular humanism is there is no such thing as total truth. If that is the case, then their statement
that “there is no such thing as total truth” would be false.
I read sometime back about a
pastor who was visiting with a farmer who was a “secular humanist.” The pastor asked, “Can you not look at the
trees and flowers and see the creation of God?”
To which the farmer replied,
“Those trees and flowers aren’t there.
They are just a figment of your imagination.”
Then the pastor said, “What about
us? We are standing here talking. Is this all just a figment of our
imagination?”
“Yes sir,” replied the humanist.
Then the pastor walked away, went
over to the old farmer’s milk cow, tied a rope around her neck, and began to
walk away with his cow when the humanist cried out, “Where are you going with
my cow?”
“What cow?” replied the pastor, “It’s just a
figment of your imagination!”
