[Bismillah]

وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ
and We have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. (Quran 49:13)

I'm a humanist. It's not a 'religion', but it's certainly a philosophical tradition and it has a view on human relationships, the universe, and God. I thought I'd share these. Take them in the fun, happy spirit they were intended in, please. This is VERY much how I see others, how I identify with them, and how I care for them - whether or not they have a god.

Hey Roger, I'm puzzled. Could I ask how those relate to Christianity?

The one with the male and female sign I made about 15 years ago. I interpret “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Gen 2:24) allegorical. This represents a person’s union with God. It's a mystical union. This same verse opens and closes the Jewish Cannon.

I did about 2 years ago. It's Lilith, Adam's first wife, who as Jewish folk lore has it later became a Succubus. As Lilith she is very symbolic.

How beautiful.

Add Schweitzer's 'reverence for all creation' and a belief in the Divine and I could not have done any better to express my own beliefs.
