The False Contrast

Secular humanists on the Right--like Ayn Rand--and secular humanists on the Left that may be atheists too--believe that theists are anti-human, antintellectual, and anti-life in the case of Rand according to the Brandens in their book on her, Who Is Ayn Rand?

That may be so, but as a Mavellonialist, I suggest instead that a rational believer like me assumes that God is an individualist and maverizer. God is rational, intellectual pro-human as a sacred humanists advising that humans are to maverize like God does and is. There can be no contrast because God as a creator is pro-life and pro-human.

I reject the false dichotomy of atheistic, secular humanist that is pro-human, pro-life here on earth in the material world, on one hand, and the irrational believer that is pro-God, pro-spirit, pro-otherworldly focus, that utterly rejects human thought or effort in this world. Faith, feeling and irrational devotion to an all-powerful, inscrutable God is the only human option.

We can have  our cake and eat it too--that is the message of moderation. We can think, be worldly, individuate, have blind faith, be irrational, be secular and still worship God that is pro-human because our humanness is what God is, only more so. There is no contrast, just us deciding whose team we are on; God's or Satan's.
