Humanity

Short Quotes

"Human culture, human ethics, human beliefs, human economics, human politics, human relationships, human involvements—these are all human creations. They are not Divine creations."

• GCS, chap. 9, p. 101

Long Quotes

Despite humanity’s long existence in this world, you are a young race—immature, unwary and unsuspecting.

You have many great qualities.

You have kept spirituality and creativity alive in the world, where they have died in so many other worlds—advanced technological worlds that are sterile and secular, where individual freedom is unknown.

You have great promise. But you have great problems, and you have some disabilities as well—the tendency towards human denial. And your tribalism, which has served you in the past, can blind you now.

• The Voice of the Revelation (April 14, 2011)

Humanity as Viewed from the Greater Community

[Some races] consider you brutish and self-destructive, and they seek to gain whatever they can from you before you destroy yourselves.

• GCS, chap. 11, p. 132
