As a teenager I leaned to humanism, and dreamed of mind control and unity, but a tad of Christian ideas, and I was against a united world, after the Tower of Babel story.
One of my friends was interested in one world government. back in 87.
A lot has happened since then.
Europe is united, apart from Russia.
I became a Christian. We are warned about a forthcoming, one world government, world religion, and economy. Forced worship of an idol. And a mind control economy implant or mark... replacing cash, and ones not accepting it are penniless or maybe killed.
A slow, cunning revolution, from which there is no counter-revolution, due to there being no alternate government.
That sums up the threat I see in one form of internationalism.
International co-operation for charity is different.
Humanism seems to deny the existence of the human spirit and soul, and at conception and after death.
I surely hope it does not become a world religion.

I am an Internationlist - in that I respect and enjoy the diversity in the world.
When I refer to being a humanist is that I am concerned with the welfare of people (part of the reason why i am a volunteer).
As an Internationalist and Humanist, my volunteerism or concern is not constrained by any religious, national or any other boundary. As a teacher, I teach the students to look at the International perspective (also required by the International Baccalaureate).
And as mentoned in another thread, I am a Catholic-Buddhist-Scientist

Hi Damo, did you study at the JIU?
-
Hi, I am not sure what the JIU is - I went to state schools and my 9 degrees have been in different Australian universities.
I currently teach at one of the many International schools in Japan.

Japanese International University, where a friend of mine from Tamworth teaches International relations, in politics.

Ah yes, I know of it by the full name (I must be tired, did not make the link) - there is so much to see in Tokyo...
My views and path sometimes causes confusion, but to some, it makes sense.

I have a pen friend in Hungary who went from Catholic to Buddhist, a music teacher.

[:o] I thought I was doing well with 5! (although that includes 2 masters and a PhD)

You are still doing slightly better than me, just working on my 2nd masters (optics-monkey-ology)

I am still a Catholic, but have Buddhist leanings and generally follow the path of a physics techer

You speak here of the mark of the beast from Revelations... which is a very complicated book of the bible... Many believe differently but I assume it is a basic teaching within most christian churches eh? If one takes that in it is quite a scary thing for most people to imagine but accordingly that would put the present day society in close to that period relatively speaking...
Anyway.. I had heard no mention of this for a long time and it sent me back to revelations..
Anyway
I kinda agree with Damon..I just love people and I do not care where they come from... People are people and we are all different and we are all the same if you know what I mean.. Human.. living breathing feeling beings that are wonderfully diverse and I love that!
Sorry Titanscape! I accidentally put my post in yours instead of hitting the quote.. I have corrected it... My apologies!
