Dear Ahsan...I enjoy having friendly dialogue with you
and I love the way your mind works.
I smiled when you quoted the dictionary definition of
Secularism which was as clear as mud. I wonder what would be the
definitions of
Religion
Islam
and
Humanism
would be in the dictionary.
Your letter was wonderful. We might use different
terminologies but i agree with your essence. That
is why I think that Secular People need to work together and face the challenges
of Fundamentalists who want to create theocratic states all over the
world....whether they are Christian Fundamentalists in
In my opinion definitions of terms do not do justice to
human truths based on their life experiences as I believe that
there are as many truths as
human beings and as many realities as pair of eyes.
The other interesting thing I know as a humanist and a
psychotherapist that people can transform from
fundamentalists as young people to secular people as
adults
or
Secular as adults to fundamentalists as they get old.
Human beings individually and collectively are mysteries
and they fascinate me.
all the best
sohail
