Thumotics and Religion, Part Four

Thumotics trusts that we humans are as we are. We are not flawed. We are limited but not insufficient. Neither are we superior to others living on this planet. 

Rather than devaluing life, the thumotic perspective values life, all life. It loves, enjoys,and celebrates life. 

It sees life as a creative endeavor. We are autonomous, self-ruling, self-directing beings. By our own actions, we co-create our world. We create our individual lives. With all other living beings, we co-create our communal life together. It's up to us. Together we create the world in which we live.

Thumotics recognizes that, in fact, many of us already live satisfying, productive, and fulfilling lives without the special revealed knowledge claimed by religious and spiritual authorities and their believers.
