I found a very predictable article today over at the National Post about how noble and good humanists are written by Michael Schulman.

Reading the article you are confronted with all the nasty stuff in the Bible that we Christians never quote, because we are so inconsistent, blind and conned. That’s all the usual stuff you read from humanists, but then there’s this little section that I found interesting.

Or, as Dostoyevsky wrote, “If there is no God, then everything is permitted.”

We secular humanists are used to being confronted by such accusations. In response, Dr. Robert Buckman, president of the Humanist Association of Canada, has written a book (to which I contributed) titled Can We Be Good Without God? Our answer to that question is, of course, “Yes.”

We also sometimes ask, only partly in jest, “Can you be good with God?” — because, for all the good intentions behind religious faiths, no human construct has proved more divisive. From the ancient crusades to today’s suicide bombings in Iraq and Israel, the pages of history books and today’s newspapers are stained with the blood of innumerable atrocities committed in the name of one god or another, often with the expressed approval of the highest religious authorities.

Newsflash to Mr. Schulman – far more people have been murdered by humanists in just the 20th century than by all the religions of human history!

You never seem to hear about this from our “objective” pals in the Main Stream Media, but it is true. When you combine the millions of people that Hitler murdered or caused to die in WW2, with the millions of people that Stalin starved and murdered, with the millions that Mao murdered in China, and all the other communists and other godless regimes, they far out number the numbers killed in religious wars and persecutions.

I know that’s hard to believe given the way we’ve been programed to think about it, but it is true. Cold, hard fact – that Mr. Schulman and others like him are either ignorant of or just ignore and deny to score points in their debate.

Say what you will, we are in far greater danger of losing our liberity and our very lives from the forces of those who deny the existance of God, than we are from the dangerous fanatics like Osama Bin Ladin. Both are threats, but the humanistic, post modern philosphy is a much more credible danger in the West than anything else.

Don’t believe me? Just ask Terri Schaivo – oh that’s right you can’t – the “good humanists” starved her to death didn’t they?

Something to think about.
