secular humanism

This week we talk about secular humanism, we get the FFRF news update, we rant about pastors inciting violence, and we have fun examining some of the craziest sects.

Thanks to Ketsa, SuRRism, Redproductions, AlexGrohl, lemonmusicstudio and SoundGalleryByDmitryTaras for the music tracks. 

Here are the links that Monica and Regina provide for more information about their rant:

This is the Observer, a reflection upon the news from a Biblical perspective in order to help Christians understand how we need to think about current events.

Part 1 (0:00-13:32) Elon Musk buys Twitter! Some lament the privatization of such a large social media company, while others decry such enormous personal wealth. How should Christians think about Musk's ownership of Twitter?

Musk agrees to buy Twitter in $44 billion deal

Part 2 (13:33-23:59) The US Supreme Court is on the verge of ruling to defend the exercise of religion in the public square with the oral arguments of Kennedy v. Bremerton, WA High School. All of this brings us back to the Lemon Test which is supposed to guide Justices in ruling in favor of the secular. But is human secularism really neutral with regards to religious commitments? We take a deeper look.

Part 3 (24:00-32:24) Trudeau announced the Commissioner and the Inquiry to investigate his invocation of the Emergency Powers Act. Given the foregoing, it is imperative that Canadians hear this inquiry because Trudeau clearly violated the right to ownership of personal property and the right to freedom of worship and expression in the public square. All Canadians need to be intersted in hearing this inquiry.

Part 1 (0:00-17:43) Canadians respond to polls that, among the options they were presented with, some religions are more harmful to society than beneficial. Here's a question: why wasn't secular humanism one of the options they were presented with as a potentially harmful faith?

Canadians consider certain religions damaging to society

Part 2 (17:44-26:55) Cardus Research shows that churches within Canada have an enormous economic benefit, that they are more beneficial than harmful. But this begs the question: what dollar amount does one assign to saved lives?

Humanism has been a key challenge to Christianity and theism, so I have invited my good friend Warren, an agnostic, to discuss the Humanist Manifesto.
Evidently, not all humanists can be summarised or reduced to the humanist manifesto, but it is a good place to start. 
In this video, we discuss the first 6 theses of the Manifesto and in the next video, we would discuss the remaining theses.

What happens when a nation forgets God? The nation falls apart. God calls it back to himself. How should the church (believer) respond?

Nancy uses the example of blind Bartimaeus to show how this generation needs to cry out for Jesus to heal and redeem them. This generation has been blinded (2 Corinthians 4:4) and needs to seek Christ's mercy to restore them.
