Lesson Three - Page 5

The first doctrine of the Humanist religion is Evolution as opposed to the Christian doctrine of Creation. In reality, the Evolution/Creation argument in the schools is a religious argument between these two reli gions. However, to deceive, the Humanists deny that it is a religious argument. They say evolution is scien tific but creation is religious.

Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them

“Second: Humanism believes that man is a part of nature and that he has emerged as a result of a con tinuous process.”

This second doctrine of Humanism holds that man has evolved contrary to the Christian doctrine that man was created by God.

Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

The third doctrine holds that man does not have a soul. Here is how they put it, “Holding an organic view of life, human ists find that the traditional dualism of

mind and body must be rejected.” Humanists don’t use plain English. They use the word traditional in reference to Christianity. It is Christians that have traditionally believed that man is body and soul. Humanists believe that man is just another form of animal life. The fifth doctrine denies any divine standard of right and wrong. Quoting their words, “Humanism asserts that the nature of the universe depicted by modern science makes unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic guarantees of human values.” Every time a Christian speaks out on a moral or political issue, Humanists loudly, cry out, “Separation of Church and State.” Now, hold on to your hat, Humanism does not believe in “separation of church and state.” Here is the seventh doctrine of Secular Humanism. Quoting from page 9 of The Humanist Manifesto I: “ Seventh: Religion consists of those actions, purposes, and experiences which are humanly significant. Nothing human is alien to the religious. It includes labor, art, science, philosophy, love, friendship, recreation, all that is in its degree expressive of intelligently satisfying human living. The distinction between the sacred and the secular can no longer be maintained.”

“The glory of the American Revolution is this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”

Did you catch that? They said, “Nothing human is alien to the religious.” Also, they said, “The distinction between the sacred and the secular can no longer be maintained.” What does that mean? Well, in plain English they said, “there can be no separation between church and state.” (It is important that we understand that Humanists sometimes use the word “church” to mean religion, and at other times they use “church” to mean Christianity.) So, now you know, when a Humanist calls for “sepa ration of church and state” he does not mean “separation of the Humanist Religion from the state,” rather he means, “separation of Christianity” from the state. Actually, they are trying to undo that our nation’s founding fathers accomplished in the American Revolution.

“ Thirteenth: Religious humanism maintains that all associations and institutions exist for the fulfillment of human life. The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control, and direction of such associations and institutions with a view to the enhancement of human life is the purpose and program of humanism. Certainly religious institutions , their ritualistic forms, ecclesiastical methods, and communal activities must be reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows, in order to function effectively in the mod ern world.”
