Atheism seems to be getting stronger, estimated at around 13 percent worldwide but much higher in such countries as Japan, Germany and China.

Given that Red China was officially atheist as a nation after the Communist takeover, and had been mostly pagan before, it is no surprise that more than 13% would be atheist. Unlike North America and Western Europe, it is trending towards Christianity.

It’s like what Jesus says here, in that he questions whether there will be faith when he returns.

This indicates to me that he will find faith, but it’s waning to the extreme, so that one could question whether there will be faith remaining any longer.

1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.

3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’

4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,

5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ “

6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.

7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Luke 18:1-8

My tag line is not really just about Obama. It is also about the time frame over which he presides. And for me, the subject of this article is part of the cause of what I expect to happen.

Technology is neutral. It can be put to good or evil uses.

I bet the guy who invented Facebook didn’t envision, or even want, it to spread the gospel all over the globe. But it does. And scoffers can be told off on the spot.

Christianity and Catholicism in particular are on the decline in the West. This country wasn’t what it was when I was growing up during the 80s/90s.

Islam is on the rise.

What’s interesting, and potentially our undoing is how younger people tend to be ‘secular’, but it’s more of a hostility towards Christianity. Yet, they are “tolerant” of Islam.

I just wonder how many people will need to die before they lose their “tolerance” of Islam(it is NOT a “religion of peace”. The Christians don’t want to behead any of them for not ‘believing’, but the rag heads sure as hell do! (not to mention how they treat women as little more than animals and they just straight up kill all homosexuals)

There will be a breaking point somewhere.

Like many things produced by the media the opposite is true.

Secularism is collapsing. Theism is growing.

Secular societies like Russia China and Cuba are giving way to Christian belief.

Christians in China outnumber communist party members.

European secularism is futile fodder for Islamic supremacism.

Germans are reclaiming their Christian identity.

The world has never moved as aggressively against secularism as today.

Probably has nothing to do with the article but it just occured to me:

One has achieved the absolute highest possible level of arrogance if one is truly an atheist.

I know that Google does NOT have our best interest at heart!!!!

Google spies on us, supports the “gay” agenda, and disses the Christian faith whenever it can!!!! (See, for example, that bogus “’Tis the Season” Google doodle!) To add insult to injury, Google makes anyone who owns a business website and/or blog jump through an ever changing and more arcane series of hoops to get their sites noticed by potential customers.

As for God, I was united with Him in Orthodox Holy Communion this morning, and experienced His love. And He came to us as a little Child at Christmas, and opened the way to Paradise for us through His death on the Cross and His Resurrection!!!!

Compared to all that God has done and is doing for us, Google is paltry indeed!!!!

When you have nothing to hold on to but your defunct iPhone, you will jump off the highest ledge available. And there will be no one to care.

“The world is going secular,” claims author Nigel Barber. “Nothing short of an ice age can stop it.”

And that is why, God in His mercy is going to send us an Ice Age shortly.

(I subscribe to the Russo-Danish school of climatology that is based on astrophysics rather than atmospheric general circulation models.)
