The humanist inconsistently advocates the dignity and supremacy of homo sapiens . If man is merely a complex biological machine, his existence is finite, temporary. Man is autonomous, subordinate to no higher authority. Man has no objective, absolute standard by which to calibrate his conduct. Sin and guilt are insignificant terms, ethics and morality are subjective, relative.
Religion is a delusion.
The consciousness of a personal Creator, held by billions since the dawn of history, has been but a dream. Having evolved a basic need for a God who does not exist, man is doomed to extinction. If there actually is no God, such a statement is pitiful. Amoral conduct, characterized by hedonism, sexual promiscuity, deceit, greed. Anarchy, violence, fear.
