It's not at all clear what you want to discuss.

In case you didn't notice, Ed Brayton died a few days after that post.

Re: R.I.P. Ed Brayton
In this topic, I want to discuss Ed Braytons worldviews, the worldview of secular humanism in general and how it contrasts with the Christian worldview which I attempt to push.
I don't know what were Ed's worldviews. He may have denied that he had any.
​
For that matter, I don't know if I am a secular humanist. I've never given much thought to that. But I did mostly agree with Ed Brayton's views. I've been following his blog for a long time.
​
I guess I would say that Tangle and Stile have it about right. Secular humanism amounts to Christianity without the rituals, without the creeds, without the pretenses and without the hypocrisy. Just try to be a decent human being.
