Do you think that all religions are redundant and all this world needs is Humanism?

Answer 1

no, not redundant... i'd rather say, all spontaneously jealous and hypocritical of each other. look, each claims, theirs is the best religion when all blindly disregard the lessons and messages imparted. no one seems bent to practice what is implied. they rather bite each other and bicker or ramble on how good their faith is and how bad others are.

what the world needs is humanism perhaps. respect too. if we don't all wake up to the call for respect over each religion, we shall be forever lost in the horizon of truth...

Answer 2

All religions are redundant including Christianity, when operating on men's ideas, and so is humanism. Christianity, however, which is actually Judaism in the vein of the Messiah (Jesus), is alive and vibrant when adhered to, because it is the one methodology through which God has revealed Himself and his true nature.

No other religion has the prophetical backup that the Hebrew prophets gave us; and if you have the wherewithall to do it, give the fulfilled prophecies from the old testament a study, and see if I am not right. Not to mention that around one person, Jesus, more than 300 prophecies that were written before he was born were fulfilled by his life.

Merely as a man, Jesus stands head and shoulders above all other religious leaders; his sinless life, his acts of love and healing, his wisdom. But more than that he demonstrated undeniable miracles that only God could do: Walking on the water, stopping the storm, multiplying the loaves and fishes, healing all who came to him, raising the dead back to life, rising from the tomb of death himself, and appearing in rooms where all the doors and windows were locked, and then rising into the clouds as the disciples gazed on...

So, I would say that out of all the religions and organizations of mankind that Christianity, in its true form, is definitely NOT redundant, while humanism is the same ol' same ol': Man trying to lift himself by his own bootstraps without God.

Answer 3

I find humanism is compatible with the more moderate, enlightened forms of most of the world's religions. My beliefs are similar to a humanist's, I just believe that there is a divine creator. I don't claim to have factual proof or claim to know exactly what that creator is - but it's more like an instinct that "something" is out there responsible for our existence.

Answer 4

Yes I agree. But 'Humanism' or whatever name we wish to adapt..would tend to go the way all religions go thus add up to the already numerous redundancy you're referring to. Maybe what we need is tolerance and nothing more.

Answer 5

I don't think the world needs religions OR humanism. The world needs individualism. It also needs more intellligent people, less irrationality, less psychosis. Until you fix PEOPLE and human nature, all -isms are out the window and irrelevant. Individualism would be the best -ism if all people thought logically. But they don't, that's the problem.

Answer 6

Wouldn't Humanism be considered a reglion, therefore by your definition redundant?

Answer 7

Guided by the philosophy of secular humanism Mao killed 60 million and Stalin 35 million. Clearly I think that something else is the issue rather than any ideology: probably human nature.

Answer 8

This planet doesn't need humanism. The world needs less humans. Animalism would be preferable, and the extinction of the human race would benefit this planet.

Why are we so homocentric?

Answer 9

Quite frankly, I'm pretty fed up with all these "-isms" and all those people who think their -ism is the only -ism or that their -ism is vastly superior to anybody else's -ism or that their -ism justifies violence.
One of the definitions of -ism is an "abnormal state or condition resulting from excess of a (specified) thing" and right now I'm suffering from an excess of -isms with no cure or relief in sight!
Gimme a break!!!

Answer 10

Humanism is my religion.
