I agree.
Quote:2. To establish step one, use reason, logic, and rationality to establish a moral code.
A moral code? What?
Quote:3. Combat the corruption, greed, and social injustice since the religions are not doing it.
Alright...you, uh, you go do that.
Quote:4. Help out the poor, disadvantaged, and hurting.
Agreed.
Quote:5. Use science to cure people. (irony huh.)
"Cure" people? What? Religious belief isn't a disease.
Quote:6. Combat psychological illnesses and mental issues and not alienate them.
Again, are you saying religious belief is a psychological illness? What are you getting that from?
Quote:7. Heal psychological and emotional issues that religions either create or neglect.
That's a strange and vague statement. I sort of agree with it...?
Quote:8. As difficult as it is, we need to take some pointers from Jesus.
Woah, no way. I want to continue existing!
Quote:9. Push for scientific advancement, social progression, and humanism over pure profit, greed and power.
Also a vague statement, but I'm all for pushing for these things.
Quote:10.Finally become the “Light and Salt of the Earth” that religion is not.
Whatever that means.
