The Society offers an entirely new meaning and purpose for human existence and the prospect of an eternal life beyond death based solely on human reasoning and on the ordinary attributes and abilities of humanity. Its beliefs and teachings contain no mystic insights or hidden truths, and do not in any way depend on the existence of God either as a concept or as any other form of entity, power or process having an interest in, or responsibility for, humankind. The Society is pure humanism, but with hope. At the same time, and by its own rules, the Society is forbidden from trying to persuade anyone to abandon their existing beliefs, or to convince them to accept those of the Society. Visitors are therefore welcome, and should feel free to explore both this community page and the Society's homepage without fear that some form of unwanted contact from the Society or any of its members will result. The Society's challenge to all visitors and other interested parties is to find any flaw or inconsistency in the Society's founding ideas or reasoning, or to identify any moral, social, economic or political problem which will not be solved by following its teachings. No-one has yet succeeded! |
