Humanism - HUUmanism and Self Culture

  Community and UU and Humanism and HUUmanist As a new member to   HUUmanism  (Pronounced "HU-U-manism"), I received a welcome packet including two issues of their journal “Religious Humanism”.  In the Fall 2012 issue, the Editor’s Preface says “Increasingly, we face a choice, framed elsewhere by Mike Werner, [an author of one of the articles] between secular Humanist groups who do a better job of embodying a rational approach to life, and UU congregations who do a better job of providing full-fledged community.”  And several of the articles emphasized the role that “community” plays in UU congregations and also Humanist groups.  “Community” is one of those words that we use in everyday parlance and seldom stop to think about.  I found myself reacting to the word with the first associations of friendly and welcoming group of people.  But as I reflected on the word a bit more, I realized that there was another aspect to it for me that adds a ne...

Humanism - Introduction

 After not being involved with any churches for a while, and developing my own World View as not believing in any outside authority to tell me what to believe, or what my ethics should be, or what my principles should be, I decided that I would be a Humanist.  Since most people do not know what Humanism represents, I found I could accept that label because I could define it myself rather than have other people's stereotypes define me. I hate/detest labels.  I am not a Republican, nor a Democrat; I am not a Liberal, nor a Conservative.  I do not identify with any label - even American.  I prefer to view myself as a Global Citizen rather than a citizen of any tribe or nation.  But I needed a label for my World View, and I found that if I could define Humanism myself, I could live with that label. As a Humanist, I believe I have the ability and the responsibility to do all that I can to develop all that it means to be human both in myself and in others. Then c...

  Give me a person who discusses When I was young, the only non-religious magazine that I ever remember having around the house was “The Reader’s Digest”.   Later, after developing my own world view, and philosophy and ideas about religion, I would question whether it was “non-religious” or not.   (Smile)   But one of the segments in the Digest I remember to this day was a “column” called “Give me a man who reads”.   I believe it was from the viewpoint of a boss looking for good workers and it might have been an ad rather than an editorial comment. I am at a point in my life where I would like say, “Give me a person who discusses” – who discusses ideas and concepts.   There is a saying that goes:   “Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; and above average minds discuss ideas and concepts.”   It doesn’t matter if this quote came from Eleanor Roosevelt or not.   (In the sharing and resonating of wisdom, the source doesn’t...
