Dawkins loses humanist title
#60
RE: Dawkins loses humanist title
The ideology of humanism is exactly that people should tow the humanist line, even if...and especially when...reality does not conform to the ideology.

That's what humanism is, that's it's goal. Not to accurately describe reality as it is, but to actively change reality so that it's closer to how we wish it to be.

All of that is at play regardless of any disagreement you and I have about whether he was actually throwing himself against public opinion in the pursuit of empirical or objective truth. I don't think he was, you might think he was, hell... he probably thinks he was...but the item of that disagreement is irrelevant to the advocacy and pursuit of an ideology. That's what the aha does. Advocates for and pursues a specific ideology. I think it's strange to be upset at a dog for eating a biscuit. He wasn't stripped of the title humanist, there is no such title, and the aha can't give it out or revoke it. He was stripped of an award that -they- granted, because he no longer fits the organizations goals as they see them, due to a pattern of behavior and comment that is perfectly available for anyone to go and have a look at, for themselves.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
