The Humanist Religion, Part 5 (A Christian Manifesto Today #24)

Our Christian Manifesto Today Passage from the Word of God today is Psalm 14:1 which reads: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."

Our Christian Manifesto Today quote today is from Shelton Smith. He said: "The secularists, the humanists, the liberals--those who have no use for God--continue to do what they want to do, not realizing that their philosophy is flawed and will fail. One day it will be too late for many of them."

In this podcast, we are using as our text: "A Christian Manifesto" by Francis A. Schaeffer. If you enjoy this podcast, please feel free to purchase a copy of this book from our website at: www.TorchLeadershipFoundation.com.

Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer writes on "The Humanist Religion" (Part 5):

Here is public tax money being used not only in favor of abortion but to teach the whole view of a materialistic, mechanistic universe, shaped only by chance, with no final purpose and with morals (and law) purely a matter of social choice. The Judeo-Christian view is pushed into the category of “fairy tales.”

How much this sounds like the Humanist Manifesto II, page 13, which said:

"As in 1933 [the date of the Humanist Manifesto I] humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially faith in the prayer-hearing God, assumed to love and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith. Salvationism, based on mere affirmation, still appears as harmful, diverting people with false hopes of heaven hereafter. Reasonable minds look to other means for survival."
