Reply #6: I am a Secular Humanist Deist! [View All]

Secular - meaning I believe in separation of Church and State.

Humanist - meaning I believe morals and ethics are a creation of the human mind, but firmly constrained by natural selection (bad choices lead to bad outcomes, and ultimate extinction).

Deist - Meaning I believe in a Creator, but not necessarily one particularly obsessed with humanity as His magnum opus.





The Creation Hymn of the Rig Veda asserts that in the beginning there was no air, no heavens, no water, no death and no immortality. Night and day did not exist and there was only the breathing of the One. Then somehow creation occurred. No one knows how this happened, and the Rig Veda speculates that possibly even the One does not know.
