I need to be drunk for this conversation. This sounds like a great drunken philosophical conversation coming up here.

Break out the sigma kappa shotglass! Wait, do you have one of those? That was one of my initiation gifts.

While I'm not a fan of the word "herstory" as it completely misunderstands the etymology of the word "history" is anything created by "humanists" automatically wrong?

Not always, but in using "herstory" in a Christian way, I think it's wrong. Many feminists have used the "herstory" idea to say that God is a female. There was even a "bible" that was changed to make God a female. (Right now the name of it isn't coming to me and I'm feeling too lazy to look it up.)

I don't think everything humanist is necessarily wrong. But when it comes in the context of flying in the face of Biblical teaching it is.

IMHO "herstory" also looks ignorant, and it's like scratching fingernails down a chalk board.

I'm really glad of Gamma Phi Beta's and Gamma Sigma Sigma's HISTORY.

That's because Humanists do not believe in the Bible to be the word of God. Same as the Jewish do not believe in the New Testament and Muslims have their own written word. So do you believe they are wrong, too?

It is not flying in the face of it, it is merely saying that it is considered a historical recollection of humans. So, if the intent is not to disparage, what is wrong with that?

Oh and just as an aside, just like I capitalize Christians, Catholics, Baptists, etc. I would appreciate seeing Humanists capitalized. Thank you.
