An Introduction
A few days before Easter of this year, I decided to write a little something commemorating the day. I figured a short essay on the reason Christians celebrate on that day would make a nice post. While beginning to put the ideas to a mind map, however, it seemed there was something larger taking shape. I’d begun to launch a light defense of Christianity against Secularism. I soon realized what I’d originally planned on writing had grown into a larger more involved piece and I wouldn’t be able to finish by Easter day.
Since the essay began to approach a significant length, I decided to break the whole thing down into a series of pieces in hopes it’d be more readable and effective. There have been a number of occasions where I'd been wanting to write something on secular humanism but just didn't have the time or format. Let this post serve as the first and introductory post for the whole series which will take up a yet unknown number of posts since I’m not yet done fleshing things out although I have a good amount planned out. I’d like to outline in this post the thesis I’ll be proving in the essay and tie that thesis to the structure’d I’ve mapped out for the whole series.
