  • Humanists UK launches a new membership recruitment drive, fronted by an animated film from our patron, Stephen Fry.
    Stephen is an actor, broadcaster, comedian, director, writer, and bonafide ‘national treasure’.
    He has been delightfully brought to life in the film by animation studio, Kilogramme.
    The film is appealing for new members to allow the continuation and growth of Humanists UK’s important work, including its important campaigns, services like pastoral care in hospitals, and humanist ceremonies.
    More information on membership of Humanists UK can be found at humanists.uk/join.

    Well done Stephen. Children need to know there is an alternative to the religious narrative they are fed from an early age. This needs to be shown in schools - state, private and those run solely on the basis on faith.

    I really enjoy and like the work of the humanist society. I have read many books by Dawkins, Roberts, Hanna Fry, Rutherford, Al-khalili .... But I'll never trust the hierarchical structures of any organisation that has to do with selling and promoting human values and perspectives. That said, I hope the humanist movement will expand. We'll see what happens when it too becomes powerful.

    You clearly haven’t given things much thought Mr Fry - while espousing values such as ‘reason’, ‘evidence’ and ‘love’ as virtuous, I must insist… why these values? Is it because you determined them to be virtuous (in which case you’re bring entirely arbitrary), or is it because you recognise them to be virtuous (in which case you admit to the fact that there is a higher source of virtue that transcends your own preferences)
    Moreover, why do you think that ‘reason’ (and whose brand of ‘reason’ are you referring to - Plato, Socrates, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz… whose reason all brought them to very different/conflicting conclusions) is able to bring you into possession of the Truth?
    Also, don’t you recognise that the subjective nature of any empirical assessment of the evidence necessarily commits you onto the slippery slope of epistemological and moral relativism?
    And I challenge you to come up with a definition for ‘love’ that actually coheres!
    And when you say things like “We humanists believe…”, that sounds awfully like a religious commitment, or that “We don’t evangelise…”, but you appeal to others to join your club, that sounds exactly like you’re proselytising!
    Wholesale specious reasoning Mr Fry!

    • @steveholliday1599
      @steveholliday1599 Рік тому +9

      As a general rule, you will find the average humanist, will support the idea of 'doing least harm' to other humans, animals and the world as a whole. Not all will support this of course because Humanism isn't a religious dogma that tells people what to think. But through science and reason, it's relatively clear to most people we cannot go on treating the world and other organisms that share it with us, in the way that we have.

    Humanists can be religious. Humanism isn't about selfishness but it can be.
    This is crazy propaganda.
    Say you're an aethiest or whatever.
    Don't rebrand humanism into what you want instead of what it is.

    • @HumanistsUK
      @HumanistsUK  10 місяців тому +1

      Humanism = Rationalism (which precludes theism) + Kindness (putting other human beings at the center of your morality, which many religious people also do ) + Sees Humans as Moral Agents (views morality is a necessary and emergent adaptation of human cooperation, human societies, and human evolution, not handed down from on high by supernatural beings). So no, humanism in this sense and religion are contradictory, but many religious people are fairly *humanitarian* too.

      @Sentientism Рік тому +9

      Compassion doesn't have to mean weakness or appeasement. Our compassion for sentient victims might well lead us to treat perpetrators robustly, for example. We should have compassion even for the perpetrators - and there's no value in pure retribution. But justice motivated by deterrence, protection, rehabilitation and restoration can be powerful and may also extend to the application of constraints and even violence where justified.
