Kin
noun
1. A person's relatives collectively;kinfolk.
2. family relationship or kinship
3. a group of persons descended from a common ancestor or constituting a family, clan, tribe, or race.
4. a relative or kinsman.
5. someone or something of the same or similar kind: philosophy and its kin, theology.
Kin, is like saying you are ultimately, somehow share something in common. By blood, marriage, state or race, somehow you are connected. Kindred spirits.
But this statement is an exclusionary word by nature. We share something in common. Other people don't share it with us. By definition, it defines a common side.
So, it's no surprise to find the modern figures of speech, such as "The Whole World Kin."
Perhaps we should take a look again at George Bernard Shaw,
Shaw inspired many people, even won a Nobel prize.
The sad truth of the man has been covered over by history.
"SHAW: You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight, and since you won’t, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself." - Retrieved from this article.
The implication is that if you can't explain why you are here or why you aren't "pulling your weight," you deserve to die. It's just evolution. No point in getting all worked up about it.
Such has been the real life experiment in the Netherlands, where they gave physicians the green light to euthanize patients.
"But we were wrong - terribly wrong, in fact. In hindsight, the stabilization in the numbers was just a temporary pause. Beginning in 2008, the numbers of these deaths show an increase of 15% annually, year after year. The annual report of the committees for 2012 recorded 4,188 cases in 2012 (compared with 1,882 in 2002). 2013 saw a continuation of this trend and I expect the 6,000 line to be crossed this year or the next. Euthanasia is on the way to become a ‘default’ mode of dying for cancer patients.
Alongside this escalation other developments have taken place. Under the name ‘End of Life Clinic,’ the Dutch Right to Die Society NVVE founded a network of travelling euthanizing doctors. Whereas the law presupposes (but does not require) an established doctor-patient relationship, in which death might be the end of a period of treatment and interaction, doctors of the End of Life Clinic have only two options: administer life-ending drugs or sending the patient away.
On average, these physicians see a patient three times before administering drugs to end their life. Hundreds of cases were conducted by the End of Life Clinic. The NVVE shows no signs of being satisfied even with these developments. They will not rest until a lethal pill is made available to anyone over 70 years who wishes to die. Some slopes truly are slippery."

Such is the slippery slope from "mercy" to what amounts to murder for pay.Alongside this escalation other developments have taken place.

These patients, often in the grips of Alzheimer's or other mental delusions that allow them to be manipulated, are easy pray for physicians acting in the patient's "best interests" in mind. This is unfortunately a possibility for all us humans as they age.
Which leads me back to Shaw. If Darwinism believes that people who don't contribute or justify their existence, why have charity?
The answer is charity comes from organized religion.
The meek have no place in a Darwinian society trying to rise to the pinnacle of human evolution.Matthew 5:1-12
Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
This is why the largest charities in the world today are a result of the world's major religions promoting charity over evolution.
http://feedoc.org/AgencyAccess/ReligiousViews.aspx
Confucianism, Protestants and Catholics, Mormons, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Taoists and Hindu's all have structural elements that require charity. These are considered the major religions of the World. But somehow, there is another side that doesn't believe in kindness to the weak, or charity.
But is it a religion?
Thanks to Google, you can see for yourself in The Whole World Kin: Darwin and the Spirit of Liberal Religion by Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, Oct 1, 2009. (http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Whole_World_Kin.html?id=7HwNiVWXZGIC)
As always, I say to be educated and read for yourself.
At it's core, it explains it's own philosphy as seeing G-d's image in everything. Everything. From nature to Christianity
Was Stalin and Pol Pot murdering in the image of G-D? Are dictators who gas their own people, such as Assad, murdering right now in the image of G-D? I leave that up to the reader to decide, but it's such statements that are at the core of the Unitarian Universalist Association whose leadership supposedly collectively wrote the book.
Who is this Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA)
Symbol :
1. A religion, ironically calling themselves, an Association.
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion with Jewish-Christian roots. It has no creed. - http://www.uua.org/association/2. Self identify with the liberal label.
3. Had the blow up with the Boy Scouts of America a few years ago and created their own Scouts.
4. Have a vaguely communist manifesto
Peace, Liberty, and Justice for all? That's not how it goes. The pledge of allegiance to the United States, written by Francis Bellamy, and adopted by Congress in 1945, goes as follows."The Goal of World Community with Peace, Liberty, and Justice for All" - 6th Principal
"I pledge allegiance, to the Flag, of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The change between the two tells you what you need to know.
They removed the words : I pledge allegiance, to the Flag, of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible,
But they added : Goal of World Community peace.
So, it seems it's goal is a world community with peace for all.
Where have we seen a world wide attempt to gain power through peace used before for propaganda?
4. Are moral relativists - believing that truth and meaning constantly evolve.
“As responsible religious seekers, we recognize that we are privileged to be free, to have resources to pursue life beyond mere survival, to continually search for truth and meaning, to exist beyond bonds of dogma and oppression, and to wrestle freely with truth and meaning as they evolve." - Reflection on 4th PrincipalThis also preaches the idea that morals can never be finite. There is never a single truth or meaning, but a continual search for them. Remember, it has no creed.
The scariest part about the Book, is that it teaches it's congregants.
"What if we make all the World his Temple, and all life a worship? All this we may not only do in evolution, but evolution helps us do it."So it's an evangelical religion of evolution! On a crusade to promote moral relativism and Darwinian thinking upon the world through "peace" and knowledge.
pg. 12 of The Whole World Kin: Darwin and the Spirit of Liberal Religion
A religion intent on spreading "peace," but has no defined sense of right and wrong?
It's important to point out : those who are not charitable or humane, are not kin to the major religions, or non-religious individuals, who are.
