Middle Class in Spirit. The Humanist views the Beatitudes as a moral standard that we can strive for because we are all born basically good. Humanists believe that if we just give people opportunity and education they will be good. However, since the ▇▇▇▇ of the Age of Enlightenment we have simply become more creative and efficient in sinning. We have just become smarter in the way we kill each other. I am not suggesting we go back to the dark ages; I am simply arguing that we are spiritually powerless and need to go back to the gospel.
