Today unfortunately, the concept of humanism has been turned upside down. The modern philosophy guiding our children is one of secular Humanism, a non-faith based view of man s individuality that believes in egocentricity. Secular humanism has as its foundation a belief in moral relativity. That whatever the individual believes, is right, and must be accepted without question. It promotes immediate gratification and confuses love with acceptance of any and all value systems.
Self esteem is based on righteousness as defined by the individual.
What we are left with is a culture where dangerous political correctness takes over and our fundamental religious foundations are left to wither. Let us remember that what Hitler said was also politically correct and as you all know that piece of history did not turn out very well either. The threat caused by moral relativity is the collapse of our society. The reason is because evil is very sneaky. For example, a balloon is a metaphor for societies need to stretch and test the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
