Humanism - The Corruption of a Word

[tbieter]

"The twentieth century witnessed an assault on a number of once fine words, often hollowing out the traditional meanings and filling them with sheer refuse. Myth, in the twentieth century, became lie. Love became lust. Another such word, lost in the confusion of our present whirligig of post-modern life, is humanism. To even those who would and should be friendly to the term react strongly to every one of its four syllables. For most of us not on the left, humanism has come to mean radicalism, atheism, arrogance, and secularism.

Frankly, this corruption of the word humanism is a tragedy almost at the level of the loss of the traditional meaning of love."

I hardly think you are in a position to brag.
"Christianity" has been corrupted every year for the past 2000 years. It changes its mind like people change their socks.

[Jaded Sage]

It sound like you're saying Christianity is a humanist religion. I'd agree. After all, it does have a single command to love one another.
