Religious Issues
Moral Majority's*
War On Humanism
When I first noticed that the
Moral Majority was waging an
attack on humanism in the name
of their brand of Christianity I did
not take it very seriously. But as
the attack gets more vicious I am
inclined \ now to take it very
seriously. S^ ~g? *
The religion editor of the
Toronto Star, Tom' Harpur,
(Toronto Star, Nov. 16, 1981)
shares my concern. These people
are attacking the wrong target.
They are confused about what
humanism is and does and what
role it has played in the history of
Christian life and thought and
action. J 43
t> The Moral Majority is doing
what Khomeini did. with
American democracy during the
hostage crisis. They have iden-
tified humanism with the
demonic, as Khomeini identified
American democracy and Jim-
my Carter with the literalized
devilt They are the victims of
their own biblical literalism. ^
A former hostage of Khomeini,
Moorhead C. Kennedy Jr., who is
also a former member of the
American State Department, is
currently making that assess-
ment of Khomeini and Jerry
Falwell. *fe
I "What does Khomeini tell us
about Jerry Falwell?** he asks.
He tells us that both leaders per-

Dealer 1/9/82). The pressures on
such public figures of what they
regard to be; moral, social,
p o l i t i c a l , and religious
breakdowns, leads them into ex-
aggerated, biblical interpreta-
tions based on literal understan-
dings when they interpret public
issues and conditions. •. •
Tom Harpur points out that the
Moral Majority should be attack-
ing war, poverty, oppression.
Those are evils which the
humanist conscience cries but
against and if Christians of the
Moral Majority and Christian
humanists were to pool their
resources against such evils they
would be doing humanity a great
service. ^.A % • .'; :

College Perspective
A Revelation On
Contemporary Outlook
An interesting experiment
which took place in one of my
classes last week proved to be a
revelation on comtemporary
outlooks. The professor asked
each student to describe in one
short paragraph what the world
would look like in 25 years. The
exercise seemed to me at first to
be unoriginal, overdone, and
perhaps out of vogue." That
question was theflurryof interest
nearly twenty years ago when
Vonneget and Orwell were pump-
ing out their "Player Piano*' 1984
novels. But the response to the
exercise stunned me as an equal-
ly out-dated vision.
In an age where artificial in-
semination, plastic hearts and
blood transplants are realities
toward sustaining life students of
today (according to this < one
class) still don't see their
destinies within their own power.
Over one half of the class por-
world within the next 25 years.
Tempered by the rising "age of
the computer" as well, (which
seems to be replacing the
notorious space-age myth) the se-
cond most vast description, was
of a highly technological, com-
emotions seemed an ever dwindl-
ing concern, while . unemploy-
ment, replacement by machines
and more leisure were the

as cyclic and regenerative. The

ing hopelessly and helplessly into
a new world, predominated.

come the fear of annihilation.
Also, world wars, the threat of
world wars and eastern "holy
wars" have hinted (according to
scrupulous observers) at the
manifestation of Biblical revela-
tions. Although let us not dismiss
the staggering • realization that
never before have we had the
capacity to totally and complete-
ly destroy all of mankind in a
matter of seconds.
The most astonishing insight
from this small bit of information
for me is that at a time when man
has perhaps never been more in-
dependent, more intelligent and
capable of survival, and in con-
trol of personal happiness, ad-
vancement and prosperity, he
still sees human nature as poten-
tially destructive in absolute
dimensions. And perhaps the self-
reliance era is not as much a
reality as we would like to
believe. Influences of some
greater force beyond our control,
whether we revert to the classical
terms of fate * and destiny or
adhere traditionally to the pro-
phetic writings of Jhe Bible, are
apparently acknowledged. That's
a rather humbling reprimand for
those of us who like to feel in
control, v y jfcyitaiiii
I wonder if, in 25 more years,
the results to the exercise would
remain essentially the same..It
seems plausible, for man can on-
portions. Man also desires
closure, and needs to maintain
balance for there to be any order
in his world. The alpha can be
seen and explained in biological
terms, but the omega no one ever
returns to discuss. Hopefully, this
type of speculation is the result of
intrigue and mysticism as oppos-
ed -to the foreshadowing of an
