Secular Humanism
Secular
humanism promotes "reason, secular values and the good life."
(1)
If
God does not exist, then we only have ourselves to depend on. That
is called secular humanism. Secular humanism is the belief that
we are on our own. The teachings of secular humanism so pervade
our culture that many "Christians" have secular humanistic
beliefs instead of believing the Bible.
What
do you think about the following?
Secular humanism
is the belief that we have the ability to solve our problems by
ourselves. It is based on the belief that life from non-living materials,
that we evolved from lower forms
of life, and that we are in control of our lives. It is the belief
that we create our own moral values--and that moral values are relative
to individuals and cultures (what is right for me may not be right
for you). It includes the belief that we must tolerate
everyone and everything.
Secular humanism,
and the above beliefs, are opposed to Christianity.
