Humanism

Humanists of The Purification fiercely rejected the sacredness of human life. They were like children who loved their pets better than their family.

Humanism was the philosophy that sought to understand the meaning of life as a self-directed search. Humanism upheld the objectivity of human consciousness and subjectivity of God, which corresponded well to scientific materialism. In the absence of love, meaning was the anthology of humanness.

The humanist disability of the Great Purification. Scientific knowledge made it possible for many millions of people to live in a level of comfort that had been available only to the rich prior to the twentieth century. Humanism fostered "pride of lifestyle," a tendency to attach great siginificance to one's home, possessions and social circumstances. We recall that this mass affluence and possession hoarding caused imbalances in the natural environment that befouled the earth and contributed to mass extinctions. However, wealthy people, humanists and scientolators did not attribute these environmental problems to their own material attachments. They found it easier to blame the loss of biodiversity on a general problem of human overpopulation. Humanists were preoccupied with biodiversity as a pleasant setting for these all important lifestyles they pursued, so there developed a tendency in humanism to care more about the lower life forms that human beings. Ironic, given the title of the movement.
