[QUOTE="spiritualwarrior77, post: 60765908, member: 306944"] It depends on your definition of humanism. Let's just say the combination of humanism (humans being the highest moral authority), Darwinism (survival of the fittest) and atheism (there is no God) = Auschwitz. It's the logical conclusion of this belief system. You may think Auschwitz is wrong but you have no moral authority to explain why. Hitler and the Nazis believed that Jews were akin to vermin and it was their duty to rid the world of them. They truly believed this with every fibre of their being. The humanist can only appeal to 'conscience' without explaining where it came from and who's conscience is more correct. What about people who don't have a conscience or have a partial conscience (the sociopath)? I agree with Beanieboy that the conscience comes from God. But unless we have an outside authority (God inspired scripture) as a guide to confirm our conscience, then we end up in endless argument as to who has the 'better' conscience. The Judeo-Christian scripture are the bedrock of civilised society and as soon as they are ignored, society disintegrates! [/QUOTE]
