Secular Humanist ?

Now that's something new to me.
After some online searching, I conclude :
I'm not a secular humanist and not an atheist.
I embrace all happenings around me, be it spiritual or the material, human world.
I try to treat all events with equanimity in hope that such perception would steer me to greater truths and not just deny things access with whatever faith and ideas I conceived and believed in.
I held it at bay when Isaac told me that ' muslims drove celebratory christians up to the hill on 25th Dec 2004 and the next day the tsunami came and saved the christians up there. '.
So whatever happened to Europeans sun-tanning and partying at Thailand?
Discerning people wouldn't take offence with this.
Isaac should have told me a fiction story instead given his dramatic twists and turns of tones and content.

Buddhism has taught me to scrutinise and treat all things with an unbiased mind and test with, in modern terms, scientific rigour.
It has also shown cause and effects of communication, generosity and action.
With meditation as its main pillar, one realises how oneself is like and how concentration of the mind does make a difference to perception and how clarity could easily arise.
In daily life, our minds are diffused to different tasks and chores, I'd gladly take a break and recollect.
