41. Biblical Theism - Humanism Exposed. Christianity Is Superior!
    Biblical Theism in today's culture applied to issues morality, abortion, homosexuality and other topics. Articles include refutations of humanism.  
    http://www.biblicaltheism.com
    
    Extractions: Definition of Theism : Theism may be defined as belief in a god or gods. Some religions have many gods; some have only one. Some religions are theistic; others are not. Theism is the opposite of atheism, which is belief that there is no god. Biblical theism is belief in the Judeo-Christian God, i.e., the God presented in the Bible. Biblical theism encompasses many subtopics. A study of the God of the Bible will necessarily focus attention on the Godhead, composed of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It relates to the nature and attributes of God, the pre-existence and deity of Christ, the person and operation of the Holy Spirit, and a host of other subcategories. Cultural Rejection of Theism : Our secular and humanistic society now generally rejects biblical theism. Although a majority in our society may say they believe in the God of the Bible, they also say that their belief in God has little to do with the way they conduct their lives. Institutions of business, governments, commerce, industry, and education operate more by secular and humanistic principles than by principles of biblical theism.

Our premise is simple: We can solve the problems of society using a religion based on reason. We cannot abandon ancient traditions and practices but we can adapt them to our new understanding of the universe. Religion must be able to adapt to new knowledge about the universe without rejecting the deep spiritual connections to human history and the natural world that we are a part of. All humans have an inalienable right and duty to practice their own religious traditions. Spiritual Humanism allows everyone to fuse their individual religious practices onto the foundation of scientific humanist inquiry. We accept people from any religious background and recognize the validity of all peaceful religious practices and behaviors as being helpful and necessary in developing the spiritual nature of humanity.

48. Footprints Of The Serpent
    Critical analysis of the New Age Movement and its reflection of humanism, ancient sorcery, occultism, Eastern religion, Gnosticism, the Human Potential movement, and modern physics.  
    http://allanturner.com/sample.html
    
    Extractions: November 10, 1998 by: Allan Turner In this series of articles, we will be taking a critical look at a philosophically united confederacy that calls itself "the New Age movement." This movement, referred to by some of its adherents as "the Aquarian Conspiracy," is a curious blending of Humanism, ancient sorcery, Eastern religion, the occult, Gnosticism, the Human Potential movement, and modern physics. This movement reflects the current shift that has taken place in the world view of Western culture. (This series was first published in the Gospel Anchor in July, 1986.) Although Kipling told us that "East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," in reality, Western culture has been looking to the East for quite some time now. One of the purposes of this series will be to document this shift. When this series is behind you, you will realize that you have been more than a little affected by this conspiracy. The shift that has taken place in the world view of Western culture has truly touched us all. For me personally, discovering the numerous influences of the New Age movement in my life, and in the lives of those around me, was much more shocking that when I first became aware of the threat of Humanism—a discovery that was nothing less than overwhelming.

51. David Blacker / EDUCATION AS THE NORMATIVE DIMENSION OF PHILOSOPHICAL HERMENEUTI
    An article by David Blacker, that attempts to renew a dialogicallygrounded humanism, an old educational ideal that finds the beginnings of a compelling and novel defense in the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer.  
    http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/COE/EPS/PES-Yearbook/93_docs/BLACKER.HTM
    
    Extractions: A recent Business Week proponents some part of education that has reasons of its own, some part that is worthwhile not because of the commodities it procures nor even the sorts of citizens it creates. It is also to suggest that we are dangerously close to losing that vision, even as our need for it grows ever more urgent. But how might such a vision be articulated, without being called idealistic or, even worse, being labelled reactionary, in a political sense? as such against those who would justify it on narrowly utilitarian grounds. But that is not all. Gadamer argues that we miss the phenomenon completely when we think of education [ Bildung education uses us . Consequently, although we may be said to allow it to happen in certain ways, education as Bildung eludes us when we obtrude too severely on its proper sphere. In what follows, I will attempt to show how Gadamer makes sense of these bizarre claims. context Gadamer at once appropriates this old interpretive tradition, one that extends at least to the hermeneutics of Biblical exegesis in the Middle Ages, and takes it beyond the narrow confines of the interpretation of sacred texts. He claims that this basic whole-part circular structure characterizes

    http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/vatican/humanism.html
    
    Extractions: Humanism ... Credits The great intellectual movement of Renaissance Italy was humanism. The humanists believed that the Greek and Latin classics contained both all the lessons one needed to lead a moral and effective life and the best models for a powerful Latin style. They developed a new, rigorous kind of classical scholarship, with which they corrected and tried to understand the works of the Greeks and Romans, which seemed so vital to them. Costanzo Felici, Historia de coniuratione Catilinae (History of the Catilinarian Conspiracy) Fifteenth century Although humanists had thronged the papal court since the beginning of the century, Pius II was the first real humanist to sit in the chair of Peter. Born in Siena as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, he acquired a reputation as a diplomat, belletrist, and womanizer, and was crowned poet laureate by the Emperor Frederick in 1442. After serving the emperor and the anti-Roman Council of Basel, Piccolomini joined the Roman camp in 1446. He became a cardinal in 1456 and in 1458 was elected pope. As pope, the only work of scholarship he was able to continue was his "Commentaries," a remarkably frank autobiography in which he put his passions and prejudices on full view. In the passage shown here, Pius expresses his bitter contempt for the French, who had been unwilling to join his crusade against the Great Turk.

If you are interested in becoming an officer (most positions are currently open!), please contact Vincent Lloyd '01 . Freshmen are especially welcome. ABOUT US CommonSense is Princeton's secular society. What unites us is an abiding interest in discussing profound questions from a secular perspective in the realms of religion, philosophy, politics, science and history. CommonSense does not support any one, specific stance within these realms; rather, we advocate and encourage free inquiry. The Nobel Laureate and British philosopher Bertrand Russell has described free inquiry in this way: Free inquiry "means thinking freelyas freely, at least, as is possible for a human being. The person who is free in any respect is free from something; what is the free thinker free from? To be worthy of the name, he must be free of two things: the force of tradition, and the tyrant of his own passions. No one is completely free from either, but in the measure of a man's emancipation he deserves to be called a free thinker." CommonSense holds meetings and organizes events throughout the year including lectures, interfaith/non-faith dialogues, movie nights, debates, group discussions and social events.

    Extractions: What is Religious Humanism? I can offer here only the sketchiest outline of the most salient features of this distinctive approach to religion, which originated in the U.S. among Unitarians at about the time of the First World War. The movement eventually embraced two groups: one consisted of some Unitarians, Universalists, and Ethical Culturalists; the other was a group of academics. Notable among them were Roy Wood Sellars, a member of the philosophy department at the University of Michigan, A. Eustace Hayden, professor of comparative religion at the University of Chicago, and John Dewey, a member of the philosophy department at Columbia University. All three signed a very controversial document in 1933 entitled A Humanist Manifesto and all three wrote books contributing to the literary canon of religious humanism. The development, of course, was far more complex and less progressive than I have suggested, but the early religious humanists were historicists and nominalists. Sellars, for instance, said, "Once we have cut the supposed bonds with the supernatural world, we see that religion is, and always has been a social product." They also thought that the metaphors of past religions were dead, and that the new metaphors created by the religious humanists provided an appropriate direction for religion in their time. The religious humanists were convinced that religion was created by humans, not gods, who always speak the words of humans. These humanists provided a functional interpretation of religion: it was created by humans to serve certain purposes. Hayden spoke of religion as "the mother of dreams." The task is to impose human purpose upon the cosmic process, to shape the course of the flowing stream of life with its millions of conflicting drives, so that it will converge toward the practical expression of creative idealism. Sellars maintained the function of religion was to preserve and further human values. Generally, humanists thought of religion as intelligent participation in the human quest for the good life in a shared world.
