By identifying oneself with the species, the secular humanist puts his hands over his ears. Not hearing the bell, the humanist can imagine that somehow he or she is there, living in the bright future, enjoying the fruits of the great struggle. It is humanist's magic substitute for personal immortality. But of course it is only an illusion, an ersatz immortality, for the humanist will not be there.

The athiest who still pretends things matter without a God. The foundation for humanistic belief in the liberal philosophy. Why is this not brought to light? These same humanist who ridicule the religious believe in things that are not substantiated by science or philosophy. How can this humanist thought continue with such a shakey made up foundation? By disception and ignorance. Is secular humanism and humansim taught in college? Or simply presented biasedly by hollywood and the media? When compared to religious philosophy it seems that secular humansim falls short and yet it is the underlying motivation behind liberal humansim.

There are 2 consistent philosophies from which others can be derived....Religion or Nothingness. Anything inbetween is a nonsense that ends in genocide.
