I was just watching NCIS. Ducky ‘s protege asked the difference between ethics and morals. Ducky responded, “An ethical man knows it is wrong to cheat on his wife. A moral man will not cheat on his wife.”


Humanism is devoid of both Western ethics and morals. It’s motto is “do as thou wilt.” The worse possible sin is discernment - “don’t judge.” If you are one of the connected powerful, the rule of law does not apply, either.

Untrue. The word "Humanism" comes from Theology, particularly Christian, and is that which posits that man is a higher/special creation among all the creatures living on the Earth. -- The immoral philosophy that is trying to claim ownership of the word is more akin to Nietzsche's atheistic and amoral Will to Power.
