WHY WE SHOULD MAKE FRIENDS FOR HUMANISM

Everybody agrees that the important truths should be passed on to other people for people have a right to know them and we must not wait until they come to us for they need to know we are here. The law of the land is for enforcing the important truths on us. The most indispensable truth of all is how self-love can be possible and that only through standing on one's own two feet without a God or magic is it attainable. In our example and in our talking we must get that truth across gently and without seeming too zealous.

Should you try to convert people who depend on their faith like a prop as they stumble through life? No. What you do is guide them to teach themselves. We don't make converts though we will try to spread the good news at every opportunity and make opportunities for this.  If they will listen to you they consent to any problems that will result but you must be there to help and console them. Humanism is good news and will be an excellent replacement for their crutch except this time their hopes are pinned on knowledge and not guesses and fairy-tales which is the way it should be. They know that it is better to be comforted by something that is true and not just guesses. We all have to live in the real world. No matter how silly their beliefs are they must consider them rational in some sense for no other kind of religion could make anybody happy so if they care about reason or truth then they should give us a hearing and if they see the truth they should have the honesty to separate from the religious system they claim to be a part of. Try to bring the light to people without them noticing if they are likely to be antagonistic towards the truth.

There are random forces that kill and harm. They strike when accidents happen. Given the power to redirect these forces people would make them strike people who were in error or who were considered immoral on the basis that it is better for the wisest and finest people to survive. This shows us the utmost importance of being right for being right and living in accordance with it are necessary for our human dignity to be fully respected rather than get two-faced respect. You cannot divorce concern for truth from right and wrong.

Everybody tries to reach everybody else with their opinions anyway so why can't we do it for our philosophy? As long as we do not try to reach those who will listen we are tarnishing our own self-esteem for we are not trying to protect ourselves by teaching others to be happy so that they will not harm us or despise us because of the principles we represent. It is only self-defence. When anybody thinks you are wrong they oppose your belief so it is an insult to you if they will not listen to you and hear your side.

Life is the absolute value and accordingly every moment of life is just as precious. Therefore we must battle against error for error is always a source of bother.
