    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Yes, I recommend that you look at the following: https://humanianity.com/humanianity/humhome.php?_menu=2#d19 And Book2 also deals with those concerns, I believe. https://humanianity.com/homorationalis/hr204.html

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    I agree that technology is not working if we want to follow the HUEP. That is because technology is just a tool, which can be used for various purposes, ones many of us would say were bad as well as good. A hammer can be used to make things better, or worse. I personally do not have the belief...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    I agree that there might be poor judgement in my making these the subtitles of those three books, but at the time I wrote the books, I had specific reasons for using those subtitles, and believed what those subtitles say. I still believe those things, and for book1 and book3 I explain right...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    The problem is, in my mind, that it is not working. And it is really getting ominous, as we observe ourselves playing nuclear chicken.

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Yes. Many of us do not believe there is such an entity as indicated by "God," nor among those who believe there is, there is little agreement regarding its nature, and if considered to be a "sentient being," just what he/she/it wants. And so we are divided up into our many, many tribes, with...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Okay, and for 2+ thousand years we have had that Golden Rule, but have continued to do that which leads to PSDED (pain, suffering, disability, and early death), so would you not agree that more is needed than just a Golden Rule? Isn't there an enormous amount of work to be done to work on a...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Please note that you seem to be equating "religion" with "worship," and I believe the evidence is against that, since there are religions that do not entail "worship," if I understand the meaning of "worship." Please review the notes on "Religion" (included in the post that you have quoted) as...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Thanks for the suggestion. But I think it reflects an inaccurate belief regarding the nature of the website. It is hard though to express what I mean. The website is not my presentation of a new philosophy. It is the proposed idea that our species is changing in a positive way, but is very...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Thanks again. Yes, I have many times had people tell me I should not use the word "Religion." The problem with that is that I would then be engaging in what the site is trying to advocate we move away from, and doing so I would be destroying the basic concept being offered (just to please...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    In no way is this website something that can be reviewed in one sitting. It is meant to be a tool for continuous study, involving the sharing and comparing of opinions. It is nothing that can be evaluated by just glancing at it. I cannot do what you have requested in order to catch your...

    If I have overlooked anyone's reply, please let me know. I have to stop for tonight, but do appreciate the chance for dialogue.

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    On my Mac, I can increase and decrease the print size with Command + and -. I do understand that the color is an issue, but I have not had complaints since I modified the red print into something softer. There is some meaning to the colors, primarily coming from the Belief Manual. But that may...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Thanks. Yes, I already reviewed the rules. I have already expressed my concern about the ambiguity of the concept of "proselytizing." I see no problem with a person advocating for a particular idea or outlook or lifestyle, etc., and always consider that advocacy to be an opinion without the...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    I was hoping that I could have dialogue with others here about the specific concepts presented in the website. Does anyone here wish to do that?

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Yes, I understand that many will not read a wall of text. But for what I am trying to accomplish, doing otherwise is impossible. So I have long ago accepted the idea that the website will be studied and used by only a very small number of people currently, who are really interested in the...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Others so far have not complained about that, and it seems readable on a cellphone. I myself often have to magnify text on websites in order to read them, but maybe it could be a little smaller. I have had complaints about the color.

    Now I am really confused. I thought we were talking about humanianity.com.

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    So I have done that, right? I don't understand the reference to "ramming." Do you believe that I am doing that? Have you checked out the Belief Manual? https://humanianity.com/humanianity/humhome.php?_menu=5

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Do I understand correctly that the website is "abominable" because it is masking, enforcing and rationalizing values? Can you please give me an example. I have tried hard to make everything as clear as possible, and I certainly do not see what you would be referring to as "enforcing" anything...

    Humanianity: The Religion for Humanity??

    Do you mean that every sentence should begin that way? No one does that as far as I can see. And I make the assumption that whatever anyone writes is just their opinion. Don't you? I did indeed read that rule, but it is very unclear to me what it means. It seems to me that it is a...
