I don't need God to get me to do those thing. I was brought up (as most of you know) in a non religious household as was my mother. However she instilled those beliefs in us and the desire "to bring food to those who hunger, bring water to those who thirst, and help through love and showing up to turn despair into hope, swords into plowshares."
I'm so proud of the way she brought up her children and in turn the way her children have brought up their children all of who share these same beliefs.
I know there is a lot of cynicism regarding humanism but my mother taught us those principle without ever identifying herself as the humanist she is. Its not about labels is it?
