  Care to share your particular Weltanschauung ?

  How do you approach life in general? How do you convey to others your opines on life, love and laughter?

  I am a humanist. My world view is one that recognizes the freedom of the human individual as the highest value.

  I generally don't like labels due to their inherent lack of gray scale, but Humanist is one I'll don without too many qualifications. (Or actually any that I can think of right off the bat.)

  Secular Humanist, at your service!

  My personal view on life and the world we live in.

  I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be. -Isaac Asimov, scientist and writer (1920-1992)

  I consider myself a secular humanist. How I approach life is really quite simple. I believe in the dignity of mankind and treating others in a humane way . I agree with Burns - freedom of humans is of the utmost importance. Freedom of mind and freedom of movement.

  Regarding life, love, & laughter ? Since I don't subscribe to religious beliefs of the hereafter or life after death - I believe in living life to the fullest in the here and now. Showing love to friends , relatives, aquaintances , and just people in general as it causes peaceful relations between people in all walks of life. I'm anti-war , against any barbaric treatment of humans in any shape or form. I try to dwell on the positive in this world as there is enough negative to depress anyone. I feel each of us can make a positive impact for a better world individually in our circle of area while existing in this life. And laugh and smell the roses along the way in this journey called life and help others smile and laugh with you , just my motto.

  Welcome to the world of secular humanism Jeff

  I'd say I'm cut of that cloth and think most people are intrinsically so until trained otherwise.

  I haven't been tested for it, but I'm certain I have some Humanist DNA running through my body. I would never call myself a Humanist, though. I hate labels. Labels put people in boxes. I like to blow up boxes.

  Farkel, "No Labels" CLASS

  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  I tend to agree Farkel. But sometimes on the way to no boxes, one must test a few labels for fit.
