What do you believe is the ultimate goal of humanism?

Question

To me, it is about creating a world where all beliefs, religions (or disbeliefs or non-religions), all people in all classes of society, all races, sub-cultures and individualists can live freely without discrimination and judgement.

Where humans can be and believe what ever they want without some a$shole trying to dominate them with physical or verbal abuse, but where people can argue about beliefs without resorting to violence. What is your concept of a better world?

LARRY S : Most religious fanatics don;t know this, but hell is a superstition. You create your own hell by wishing 'hell' upon yourself. Stay positive man, lifes not that bad, there's good in all people.

Answer 1

Most humanists don't know it but hell is the ultimate goal of humanism. Heaven is my concept of a better world.

Answer 2

The ultimate goal of humanism is happiness, kindness, respect, and understanding for all peoples of all races, creeds, sexes, etc. I agree with you that tolerance for different views (including religious and nonreligious views alike) is an important aspect of an ideal humanistic world, but it's not the "ultimate goal", because there could still be suffering, poverty, waste, destruction, ignorance, etc. even in such a world. Humanism sets its sights even higher than world peace: it wants world love, world happiness.

Answer 3

I believe we come to earth to go through all types of trials and very hard times to make us perfect one day as Jesus is perfect. I believe life is not meant to be easy for anyone and is meant to be hard to make us stronger spiritually and so we can grow spiritually. We are here to learn to find and love God and to love each other unconditionally no matter how hard it is to do so.

Answer 4

Love.
