Please for people who might think it offensive, i am not here to bash anybody or any religion. . . i am just a humanist who believes in the beauty of the mankind and the goodness in humans. . . i believe every human on earth irrespective of their race, color or religion deserves love and compassion from fellow humans.
i believe everybody should strive to preserve nature and earth and not wish it destroyed in hope that u will get to paradise that you dont even know of except that someone told u.

One day the earth will weep, she will beg for her life, she will cry with tears of blood, and you will have to make a choice if you will help her or let her die, and when she dies, you too will die

if the gods listened to the prayers of men, all humankind will quickly perish since they constantly pray for great evil to befall one another

If you are kind to others because of the promise of heaven, that shows how little you think of others, if you are kind to others because of the threat of hell, that shows how little you think of yourself. Be Good For Goodness Sake

"Nobody is smarter than you are. And what if they are? What good is their understanding doing you?"

Terence Mckenna

I believe he was a humanist, although not a particularly secular one.

An intelligent person does not need the promise of heaven or the threat of hell to see the merits of good deeds

The greatest achievement is selflessness
Greatest worth is self-mastery
Greatest quality is seeking to serve others
Greatest precept is continual awareness
Greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything
Greatest action is not conforming to the world's ways
Greatest magic is transmuting the passions
Greatest generosity is non-attachment
Greatest goodness is a peaceful mind
Greatest patience is humility
Greatest virtue is forgiveness

what i think is deeply immoral, what i think is not okay is to tell a child that if they are not good then when they die they will burn in hell forever. that seems to me to be a mental child abuse and an utter shame. ••TellThemToBeGood•• ••AndThatsAll•• #show them goodness

holding on to anger is like grasping hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone else, you are the one who gets burned

The victims mindset dilutes the human potential, by not accepting personal responsibilities for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change it

If we could look into each others heart and understand the unique challenges each of us face, i think we would treat each other much more gently with more love, patience, tolerance and care.
Re: Great Humanist Quotes That Deserves To Be Mulled Over by johnydon22(m): 9:59pm On Dec 23, 2014
After all this is over, all that will have really mattered is how we treated each other

yeah every human is smart and we all have what we can learn from one another no matter how smart you may have been.

"Human history has become too much a matter of dogma taught by 'professionals' in ivory towers as though it's all fact. Actually, much of human history is up for grabs. The further back you go, the more that the history that's taught in the schools and universities begins to look like some kind of faerie story."

By strict definition, it means you dont care whether a god exists, you just live your life as best as you can and whatever is true, remains true.

You don't need religion to be moral, if you cant determine whats right or wrong then you lack empathy not religion

Morality is not distinctively christian, any more than it's islamic. morality is human it belongs to no ism, and does not depend for a foundation upon the supernatural, or upon any book or creed. Morality is itself a foundation

Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishments after you are dead

[b] In planet earth:
We live and we die
we laugh, we cry
we work, we rest
we eat, we go hungry
we have pains and joys
happiness and sadness
we shed tears and we smile
we struggle and we survive
we hope and we despair
we feel bad and feel better afterwards
we are mortals and nothing makes life more beautiful than that.
it is in all this that we find balance and the essence of living. . . if you
remove the cry, hunger, sadness they won't be balance cus their
counterparts won't exist.
it baffles me why people tend to love the unknown and ignore the known.
heaven and hell are unknown nobody bleeping know if they are real but we
all know of one reality and that is EARTH, our planet, our home.
EARTH is known, earth is real and earth is the only reality that is truer than
true.
you can put ur hope in the unknown but please let the good in you help
rebuild the earth and make it better.
lets us rebuild our home and make it better and peaceful.
Gaia(earth) needs goodness and peace
gaia is beautiful.
gaia does not deserve to be destroyed.
love earth and save earth.. #We Owe it To Our Children And Ourselves [/b]
