The very first thing we must do in terms of human values is to reclaim our qualities from the wretched dogma of the religious. For too long we have let them hijack and redefine (to suit their purposes) our finest qualities.
Are you in "love?" Not unless it's "through God" say christians. "Peace" is achieved only after islamic conquest of everything everywhere.
Our dedications to each other are enshrouded in religious trappings - so much so, the celebrations aren't even about we humans at all anymore. This shit needs to stop. It is one of the many ways religion is harmful, and why I am an anti-theist. I see the harm.
We need to reclaim our humanity.
Does anyone have a favourite human quality that religion has hijacked and redefined? My favourite is morality. They took what should be an opportunity to continuously elevate people to a higher standard and reduced it to a retributivistic punish - Punish - PUNISH!
