Them's strong words, Dan, and I expect you to document them or say that you
are wrong.  By document I mean show me where in a "secular humanist"
document that is identifiable as such the above are proffered.  I do not
mean in a book *about* "secular humanism" by some yo-ho like Phyllis
Shafley or Jimmy Swaggart.  I mean in a manifesto *by* so-called "secular
humanists" identifying themselves as such.  I suspect you will find these
charges are harder to prove than the popularists would tell you.
