When theists say that atheism cannot exist with morality, secular humanists are quick to say that it is a misconception about atheism. But their objection is misplaced. This isn't so much a misconception about atheism as it is about atheists. Yes, there are some theists who do indeed try to assert that atheists can't be moral, and secular humanists are right to object, because such a claim is not true. Atheists can in fact be ethical. However, while it is true that atheists can be moral, it is NOT true that one can be logically consistent and be an atheist and a moral realist at the same time. This latter claim is the true argument, not the former. Now, as to why one cannot be an atheist and be a moral realist at the same time, there are two very similar reasons why this is so, the first coming from David Hume, one of the greatest philosophers to ever live, and the second coming from JL Mackie. First the Humean argument. David Hume famously pointed out that one cannot extract an ought-statement from an is-statement. You cannot get an ought from an is, or in more technical terms, one cannot derive a prescriptive fact from a descriptive fact. Batman, because he failed to point to a metaphysical, transcendent and ontological foundation, cannot make the case that the joker ought to prefer choice A over choice B. The joker, realizing this, throws Batman's assertion back in his face. The joker laughs in his face, and points out that the secular humanist's rules are a "bad joke <b>...</b>

This video is both an advocacy of the life philosophy of humanism and a criticism of religious fundamentalism. But with this comes a risk: the perception that all people of faith are being tarred with the same brush. Non-theists know that most believers are just ordinary, decent folk. So too do we commend the positive contributions of religion: spiritual comfort, moral guidance, the charity work, not forgetting the legacy in art, literature and architecture. Nothing said here or in the video is in ignorance of this. Nonetheless, humanists do not resile from the conviction the world would be a better place without religion. It should also be appreciated that religion doesn't own the contributions i've just mentioned. Take God out of the equation and they would still happen, such is the spirit of man. Like many others, I take heart in the growth of atheism and the gradual decline of religion- notwithstanding the clarion call of the Fundamentalists. And for good reason. To put it bluntly, in the 21st century, people are tired of heroic mythology being held up as truth; tired of church hypocricy and obstinacy; tired of antiquated morality being plastered on our consciences in an attempt to hold back ethics in step with the times. Most of all we are tired of the hatred it causes through the blinkered puritanism it spreads. It shouldn't need saying: science HAS revealed the age of the Earth and Universe, our biology and evolution, and with a mountain of archeological evidence <b>...</b>

This sneak preview of Alex Jones' ENDGAME: Blueprint for Global Enslavement covers the emerging trans-humanist or post-humanist movement. Eugenics sought to improve the race of man by methods of breeding; Transhumanism, which was coined by Julian Huxley to replace the worn out term eugenics, seeks to improve man through scientific and technological means. Now, scientific development in areas like genetics, nanotech and robotics may finally allow some to live forever...

The song is Μαζί σου - Mazi sou (with you), from Peggy Zina (Πέγκυ Ζήνα). The Byzantine Humanists were intellectuals who gave birth to the last Byzantine Renaissance, with their zeal and love for Ancient Greek learning. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, most of them moved to Italy and Corsica, where they taught Ancient Greek to Italians. They also taught the works of Plato and Aristotle. It was through a rediscovery of Greek learning that Europe made achievements in science. This period was known as the Renaissance (literally, the Rebirth). Humanists comes from the term Humanitas, used for the all encompassing education that was the foundation of Ancient Greek civilization. These individuals include: Theodore Methochites (Θεόδωρος Μετοχίτης), who was a great patron of the Arts, George Plethon Gemistos (Γεώργιος Πλήθων Γεμιστός) who was the greatest and last revivalist of Greek philiosphy in the middle ages, Barlaam of Calabria who taught ancient Greek to Petrarch and Boddaccio, Manuel Chrysoloras the first Ancient Greek teacher in Italy, Basilios (also known as John) Bessarion (Βασίλειος Βησσαρίων) who was a scholar and translator in Italy, and John Argyropoulos, who was a teacher of philosophy.

Evolutionary Humanism, Eugenics and UNESCO UNESCO Its Purpose and Its Philosophy As the first Director of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation), Sir Julian Sorell Huxley (1887-1975) wrote a paper entitled UNESCO Its Purpose and Its Philosophy (1946) [1] in which he outlined his vision for the newly created international organisation (which grew out of the League of Nations' Institute of Intellectual Co-operation). According to Huxley, the guiding philosophy of UNESCO should be what he termed, World Evolutionary Humanism. The following article describes this philosophy and its relation to eugenics. Julian Huxley, an evolutionary biologist, humanist, and ardent internationalist held many titles including: Secretary of the Zoological Society of London (1935-42), first president of the British Humanist Association (1963), Vice-President (1937-44) and President (1959-62) of the British Eugenics Society. He was also a founding member of the World Wild Life Fund, coined the term "transhumanism" (as a means of disguising eugenics) and gave two Galton memorial lectures (1936, 1962). Huxley also received many awards including the Darwin Medal of the Royal Society (1956), UNESCO's Kalinga Prize (1953) and the Special Award of the Lasker Foundation in the category Planned Parenthood - World Population (1959) to name but a few. He is also the Grandson of Thomas Huxley (Darwin's Bulldog) and brother of author Aldous Huxley.
