Why Atheism and Secular Humanism are Failed Philosophies

RE: Why Atheism and Secular Humanism are Failed Philosophies



I'm not particularly intent on feeding this troll, but:

A) Even if the "I' is god, it is not a god who will consign me to burn in hell simply because I refuse to suck his dick,

B) As noted, atheism and secularism are quite independent of the views of specific secularists and humanists (Sam Harris, among others, claims that morality consists in a applying a hedonistic calculus of "well being" in a purely amoralistic utilitarian, instrumentalist fashion; I think he is profoundly wrong -- that doesn't make me not an atheist and not a secularist, but only one with a different view),

C) What we know today may not be what we know tomorrow -- and this is where secularism rocks all over theism, as it is able to grow and change, into something it is not now, whereas theism is more or less stuck with being what it is, till the end of time (or left spending its time in sophistic games trying to have its cake and eat it too),

D) Well, I'm tired, so I'm gonna quit, as I've lost the thread, and haven't taken a swig of beer in many minutes, but in a nutshell, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." If you think you have all the answers, poised midway between a past of great errors, and a future of greater completions, not only are you wrong, but you're incredibly naive and stupid.
