Today I will
play the role of an atheist who subscribes to humanism and the relative nature
of morality.
THESE ARE MY
TWO CORE BELIEFS:
1. I believe
that certain nonproductive members of society – i.e. the terminally and
painfully sick, unemployed and alcohol-addicted street vagrants, serial
criminals, and those too old to contribute anything meaningful – should be
euthanized for the greater of good of society and mankind.
Resources
that they consume can find much better use in advancing civilization and the
happiness of other (and more) people. The good and survival of the human
species takes precedence over selfish and petty individual needs.
2) I believe
that bestiality as a sexual choice should be given the same legal rights and
social respect as heterosexual and homosexual human-human relationships.
I am a
practising zoophile who regularly engages in group sex with my fully-mature
rottweilers (both male and female) who willingly and often actively reciprocate
the intimate eroticity.
We all enjoy
it immensely, so what’s wrong with it? For some reason, most people – even the
supposedly enlightened individuals at PFLAG
– think my sexual choice is disgusting, morally repugnant and unnatural.
To me it’s incomprehensible and inexplicable why.
Now please
tell me why my stand is MORALLY WRONG from a atheistic, humanist point of view.
Quotes from
the Bible or other holy scriptures will not be accepted. Arguments that some
god or another forbids it will similarly be ignored. As an atheist, I WILL NOT
ACCEPT ANY RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY BASED ARGUMENTS.
I welcome
and eagerly await comments which attempt to persuade me that somehow, my
beliefs and practices are fundamentally wrong from a relativistic, humanist,
liberal and pluralistic point of view.
Convince me.

This isn't humanism. I don't know what it is, but it's not humanism. If you're arguing from an angle of natural selection, understand that for gregarious, social animals like humans, carrying the weak members of society IS natural selection. Those that reproduce are the ones that have empathy, because as altricial animals, we need to be taken care of or we all die. Full stop.

Bestiality is rape because animals aren't capable of offering informed consent for sexual favors, which violates basic human empathy at a core level.
Theocracies are inherently fascist. Humanist secular democracies are not.
