Humanism & the Symposium

I haven’t written much lately. I go through these phases were I’m feeling more inclined to blog than others. Sometimes it lasts a few days, or as much as a few weeks. My feelings on major issues rarely change. Perhaps they morph, mutate, and rearrange. But never fully change. I’m not opposed to change; I love change. I also love improvement. Anything that can help me grow and evolve into a better version of myself. I’ve always been more of a short story, journal, and poetry writer. And if you weren’t previously aware, I absolutely love photo-manipulating (atheism-esque collection here).

I have strong opinions that I don’t believe are always about right and wrong. Humanism involves a general care for all of humanity. I believe everyone should be equal. So how can anyone be right or wrong when determining gay marriage, for example. To me, morality has to do with being kind and not maliciously hurting others. How can supporting gay marriage be wrong or immoral in any way, shape, or form? It’s not right; it’s not wrong. It’s part of humanity and human beings are beautiful. The only thing that’s immoral is telling others how they should live. That’s the only true crime! (If there were no victim, there would be no crime.)

I may take a break or get busy at my 9-6 unrelated job; I’m only human! I don’t like blogging just for the sake of blogging. However I’ll continue to read atheist articles and blogs, watch Dawkins’ videos, etc. I’m not a professional blogger, nor do I wish to be. I like writing what’s on my mind, when it’s on my mind.

I believe in living and being.

Heard of the Humanist Symposium? Make sure to check it out! Here are the logos I created for it:

About Rose Schwartz

I’ve always felt very connected to the Jewish culture, while lacking faith in the stories. I started blogging in 2006, mainly due to the the fact that "godless" is all too often equated with "immoral". Read More »
