FR's SECULAR HUMANISTS will be here en masse pinging one another to "Rock" you Joe any second. A "Humanist" is someone who promotes human interests, or at least thinks he does. This can be secular or religious.
Whatever your religious position, these days the problem is anti-humanists not humanists. That is to say the leftist Kool-Aid drinkers who promote what they conceive of as the interests of the "planet" against human interests.
Old fashioned socialists claimed that doing things their way would make people better off. That made them vulnerable to the argument that socialism doesn't work, which is to say that it doesn't make people better off.
Modern leftism is not vulnerable to such an argument, because human well-being is not on the agenda at all. The position that human well-being should be on the agenda is a moral position, but not a logical defect in their ideology.
At this juncture secular humanists and religious people are to a large extent on the same side, because they are all in favor of the continued existence of the human race.

Secular Humanists have no capicity to "rock my world." They are wholly incapable of doing so. Only Christ can have such an effect on me.

I have nothing against the word humanist. I'm a theocentric one myself.
FR's secular humanist crowd tend to think of themselves as Neoconservatives and deem anyone theo or culturally conservative as either the Klan or a Nazi (something bad and preferably white..lol)
Skeeter..ping!

Thanks for this good post, Joe. It's right on the money. The Boy Scouts were banished from a city park. But, the Muslim Camps of America can build a campsite and conference center(for meetings and weddings)on federal land in Iowa. Maybe the ACLU just has't heard about this or maybe no prayer will be said at the Muslim weddings or meetings.

Hitler was a secular humanist.

Secular humanists aren't the only ones "rocking the Christian nation". An equally big problem, and one that has no constitutional solution, is that of clergymen setting the Ten Commandments aside in order to (temporarily) boost church membership. A common example of this is clergy who support politicians whose philosophy is founded on coveting other people's stuff and stealing it.

"A "Humanist" is someone who promotes human interests, or at least thinks he does. "
You are thinking of "humanitarian." "Humanist" describes those people who believe that human reason is the pinnacle of life; thus a humanist believes there is no God.
Webster has humanitarianism as a synonym for humanism (gah) but also "a philosophy that usually rejects supernaturalism and stresses an individual's dignity and worth and capacity for self-realization through reason."
Humanitarianism and humanism have nothing in common except where liberals want to blur definitions, so there's no point helping them.

But anyone who thinks this confrontation in Montgomery is just about an inscribed rock and a defiant judge is out of touch with reality. The Ten Commandments dispute is the tip of the iceberg in the ongoing battle to obliterate every acknowledgement of God except behind the closed doors of churches. Phyllis Schlafly article, PING!
