Hi everyone, I'm looking to start my own topic when I have time, I couldn't let this blatant hypocrisy slide however.

Also...all three of these documents are arrogant, unsubstantiated, and far from conclusive. Jesus lives...regardless of what the puny human animal thinks about itself and its place in the universe.
Humanist Manifesto
Humanist Manifesto II
Humanist Manifesto III
Phat writes:
I would argue that if you think your original source was mindless and that there is no God, you are still mindless.
You assert that the humanist manifesto is arrogant, obviously because it rejects god/s. Then you go on to insult people who value evidence and reason as puny human animals for simply not believing in your particular brand of fantasy.
Treating your own beliefs as fact and deriding others for not accepting your nonsense is far more arrogant than rejecting fantasy in favor of just looking out for people.
Source of above quote
I thought it clear that the purpose of my post was to point out the arrogance and thus hypocrisy displayed by you Phat. The topic I intend to start has nothing to do with the humanist manifesto.
Do you have any real reason to criticise the HM? Other than your pet beliefs that is? If you have a genuine criticism, I suggest you start a thread about it. I'm not interested in a debate on the validity of the HM if your only criticism is that it rejects jesus. Please delete this thread.
Edited by AdminPhat, : provided Riggamortis with a title
Edited by Riggamortis, : No reason given.
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Add quote source link.

Not deleting topic, but will close (but not quite yet)
General forum policy is to not delete (or even admin edit for content) topics or messages.
I don't know what the original topic title was, but I note that AdminPhat supplied the current topic title. And yes, I do consider it acceptable that there can be just cause for an admin to modify a topic title. I don't know whether or not AdminPhat had such just cause in this case.
I'm going to leave the topic open for now, for possible further author or admin comment. Especially since it has drawn 3 (+)'s so far.

Or something like that.

Thread Opened on This Topic
It wasn't clear to me why things happened in this way, but this thread proposal by Riggamortis has been closed and another thread proposal from Phat on the same topic has been promoted: A Believers Critique Of The Humanist Manifesto
