Humanism is devoid of both Western ethics and morals. It’s motto is “do as thou wilt.” The worse possible sin is discernment - “don’t judge.” If you are one of the connected powerful, the rule of law does not apply, either.

Untrue. The word "Humanism" comes from Theology, particularly Christian, and is that which posits that man is a higher/special creation among all the creatures living on the Earth. -- The immoral philosophy that is trying to claim ownership of the word is more akin to Nietzsche's atheistic and amoral Will to Power.

The historical expressions of “humanism” are not what I am talking about. I am talking about what humanism has boiled down to today. Since it is not anchored in any value and ethical system of belief, it changes as it serves the elite from era to era.

Today’s power structure of humanism is dominated by the Neitzsche atheistic, amoral self worship. It is anti-Christian/Western. Today, humanism as practiced by “free thinking” social Marxists is in opposition to Western culture’s natural law. It is truth turned up-side-down.

It’s not based on science; it is based on “do as thy wilt.” (That is satanism’s slogan.) Science or “logic” (as “free thinking” lIEbertarians like to protray) that results in politically incorrect conclusions is named “judging from hate” and demonized.

Humanism today is what it is, today and not what it named itself in the past. Since it is not rooted in anything but faddish human will, it can mean anything.
