All of my training and graduate work as a gestalt psychotherapist centered around humanistic psychology. The belief that we could heal ourselves…that divine intervention by God was counter-intuitive and a detriment to personal growth…was the center point of this teaching and belief system.
The following is a part of an article to challenge your thinking about who you are and where you came from.
“Despite its claims to be scientific, rational, and based on empirical evidence, humanism and transhumanism are based on faith just as much as Christianity is, and thus constitute a “new religion,” as Julian Huxley and its founders claimed.
“The religious doctrine of humanism teaches that man randomly evolved from nothing—just from pure chaos and random chance. As such, life has no meaning, because man is the product of Darwin’s theory of evolution despite that there is no documented, empirical evidence to prove that evolution is true. Ultimately, it’s believed through irrational and religious zealotry and an “upper-story leap” into a mysticism that arbitrarily rejects reason and science.
“Darwin’s theory of evolution, taken literally and at its plain meaning communicated by its intellectual, scientific, and philosophical supporters, states that life has absolutely no meaning, except what a person chooses to create, and there is no God or absolute right or wrong. Evolutionary theory clearly states that the entire process of evolution, which would include transhumanism, is based on a biological mechanism in which “only the fittest survive” and brute force and power, or “might makes right,” are the “final reality.”
“Those who see this clearly, and not through rose-colored glasses, know that this means that because there is no meaning to life, or a personal God, then ultimately every man or woman has the evolutionary right to do absolutely anything, if he or she has the power or brute force to get away with it.”
