Supportive Quote
Anecdote
I've been asked to give a "supportive quote" to the British Humanist Association. These are short statements (see the banner on the top of their web page for examples) that vaguely support the organisation.
I wasn't quite sure what they were expecting from me, so I gave them six to choose from:
- Everyone has humanist values, it's just that humanists haven't been told to have them.
- Making the real world better is better than trusting there's a world that's already better.
- Humanists merely believe that one more religion is wrong than religious people believe is wrong.
- Ideas evolve. Religions are part-way along morality's evolutionary path towards humanism.
- You don't understand anything by attributing it to someone you don't understand. You have think.
- The worst thing about humanism is that when we create free-thinking machines, we'll have to change the name.
I'm guessing they'll ask me for a seventh...
