甲: how did you find about Humanism religion?

乙 : http://blog.wenxuecity.com/blogview.php?date=200607&postID=11677

in 1987

Corliss Lamont was a professor in Columbia University, Philosophy Depart.

I read the his "Philosophy of Humanism". They are struggling with west culture. But for Chinese, Its a nature religion.

I once try to talk a philosophy professor in NYU, and he said China has the Humanism philosophy for a long time.

so its much easy for Chinese to grow the humanism religion than by the west. However, the west has a rich literature in humanism, in the modern terms.

甲:

Lamont's article a little too long can you briefly summarize for me?

8 minutes

乙: It reviewed a lot of famous philosophise in history, and augured that moral and ethic judgement can be established without super nature God.

The west hate Chinese in part is because Chinese do not believe in God. And the think every one without God is evil.

The humanism, if you read Lamont, is not accepted in the west culture.

So don't be afraid of getting American establish your humanism church,

They will thank you for doing so.

And developed Humanism in Chinese community, even in China, has a very bright future.

All Lamont want to proof is that Human can have a good moral and ethic standard withou God.

甲: Lamont has the same vision I have

with a slight difference

I understand God is a creation of humans to make themselves feel comfortable

just like Santa Claus is created to fool kids, adults created God to fool themselves

but if people find the notion of God comforting, hey, I'll give you that

According to western religion, God has power to give life, to create universe. And there is an entity in the world capable of doing it: entire human race

according to western religion, there is life after death. well, there is life after death: our children carry our genes and our knowledge. our life continues in our children

乙: So don't be afraid of getting helps from American to establish your humanism church,

甲: that's a good idea. I'll get help from them to start, but I can inject my own notion

乙: Humanism is an exception of all western religion

They will well come Confuciouse and Daoism literature to enrich their humanism ideals.

welcom, I mean

甲: cool. hey I got to go to lunch now. I'll check back with you soon

乙: They know China has long history of humanism.
