Kurtz is the most vigorous and wise octogenarian I can think of.

What a wonderful man! A great American hero, and a true inspiration.

The cfi is to be congratuled for it's work on Youtube. With Stenger, Hurtz and Caplan to name but a few, having such important things to say, it's gratifying to know there's such a large audience out there.

Brilliant. Good luck and salut!

[Iconoclast444]

I love this guy.

Paul Kurtz is trapped in his own Philosophy. In the same way as Nietzsche and Sarte and Russel. Humanism without God is a pretension for deep inside, those who deny God wants to "become" gods in the guise of becoming "humans".

Paul's long life searches for the existence of a higher truth is mere proof to me that man cannot leave his Godless void alone!

at least im not a monkey

[Electronic897]

@theyakuza96 Well, there's no proof for your god.

[theyakuza96]

humanism is a joke. there is no logic, evidence, proof for any of the theories of humanism. God is the only answer.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:4

[nrhouseman]

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1:25

[nrhouseman]

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.1 Corinthians 3:19

[nrhouseman]

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
