Windsor Humanist Society

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his own creation."
Albert Einstein

"It is said that men may not be the dreams of the Gods, but rather that the Gods are the dreams of men."
Carl Sagan

"Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." Thomas Jefferson

"Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead."
Kurt Vonnegut

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."
George Carlin

"Religions do make claims about the universe--the same kinds of claims that scientists make, except they're usually false."
Richard Dawkins

"If the Bible is mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust it to tell us where we're going?"
Justin Brown

"Creationists criticize evolutionists for the demeaning idea of 'coming from apes' and say that man is more noble than that, and then have sermons where man is called a miserable worm worthy to be burned eternally in hell."
William Bagley

"Gods have done a lot in the past, will do a lot in the future, but are always strangely absent from the present."
Anonymous

"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes."
Gene Roddenberry

"The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference."
Charles Darwin

"One might be asked "How can you prove that a god does not exist?" One can only reply that it is scarcely necessary to disprove what has never been proved."
David A. Spitz

Humanists believe we must live this life on the basis that it's the only life we'll have -- therefore, we must make the most of it for ourselves, for each other, and for our world. Secular humanism provides the basis for a fulfilling and ethical life without religion, inspired by humanity and guided by reason.

Humanists believe that moral values are properly founded on human empathy and are discovered through the arts and scientific understanding.

Secular humanists see no convincing evidence for gods, the supernatural, or life after death.

The Windsor Humanist Society has evolved over these past 10 years from a small group living throughout Essex County who share these principles - The Windsor Humanist Society is the local affiliate of Humanist Canada.
