IMAGINE
"There is nothing outside the text." [From Of Grammatology] - Jacques Derrida.
Everything is constructed by language. We can't define anything without using words, and that means we are always trapped by language. Just accept it. From Diagoras of Melos , Socrates , Plato , Aristotle , Jean-Paul Sartre , Heidegger to Derrida even Al-Ma?arri are the most secular thinkers in the history of modern world . Unfortunately , we are not retracing Secular humanism and thoughts to some extent , a concern for this life and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual ,our open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress , artistic achievements and the outlooks of those who differ from us. Defence of religious liberty is as precious to the humanist as are the rights of the believers". Greg M. Epstein states that , "modern, organised Humanism began, in the minds of its founders, as nothing more nor less than a religion without a God".
Juxtaposition of God in Islam
Evolution , Education , Science , Technology are the best way of understanding the world not religion. First we have to imagine such society.When we can imagine , we can do it . One of the greatest classical poet in Arab expressed an irreligious world view with an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress that can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.
Do not unjustly eat fish the water has given up,
And do not desire as food the flesh of slaughtered animals,
Or the white milk of mothers who intended its pure draught
for their young, not noble ladies.
And do not grieve the unsuspecting birds by taking eggs;
for injustice is the worst of crimes.
And spare the honey which the bees get industriously
from the flowers of fragrant plants;
For they did not store it that it might belong to others,
Nor did they gather it for bounty and gifts.
I washed my hands of all this; and wish that I
Perceived my way before my hair went gray!
