Im a humanity first believer too , this world is what we see god is intangible but you can see humans so them first , i always believe in the common goal of the greater good called 'Serve others' ! so am i alone here thinking this way !

This is called humanism... I am also a humanist and a Christian. The two don't have to be seperated.

Well, I think the question is WHY do you put humans "first". Do you do it because of your faith in God? It seems as if you're trying to separate God from humanism. But God created humans in His image, didn't He?

Well i too know that as i am a muslim and i dont think either that it matters , Islam never goes off the track to humanity if u ask me , its just that some people want its bad side up always which every other religion has too . But im really not criticising any religion here , i respect all other religions ... Cheerz

common goal of the greater good called 'Serve others'! I certainly dont fall into that category..and majority of the ppl I know don't either...we arent here to "serve others"....Help others? Yes. Be kind and compassionate to others? Yes. Be a guide for others? Yes..but to SERVE them..NO...

Servitude is servitude regardless of who is the server or the servee. I always wondered about some more recent forms of religion where you serve a priest or priestess - not train with but actually serve - and those where the idea of having a Patron deity is taken to the level of "god slavery" i.e. enslaving oneself to the deity rather than having a mutually beneficial arrangement. Screw that. I come from a society where the class system and religious hierarchy has allowed all kinds of abuses and I want no part in any system that emulates it in any way. I agree with Raven, anything that asks you to sacrifice yourself isn't going to get my vote.
