[Westbrook]

It's wonderful that you can enjoy your "objectivism" given so many subjective assumptions.

• Everything came from nothing out of nowhere for no apparent reason.

• Life is just a curious side-effect of an unknowing, uncaring cosmos.

• The best we can hope for is a life of self-gratification and a painless extinction.

• When you die, you are just so much compost.

What a delightful worldview.

It makes SIN so much easier to ignore.

And it has so many nice names with big, important-sounding words; Objectivism, Humanism, Existentialism.

It has some not-so-nice names, too; Hedonism, Nihilism, Materialism, Atheism.

But even the not-so-nice names still sound way more important and clever than Faith.

I was once an atheist and an evolutionist.

I laughed and scoffed at the Christians and their silly superstitions.

I was so very clever.

But when all seemed meaningless, when nothing made sense anymore, when the worship of intellect and cleverness and debate at the altar of La Déité de Raison could not deliver the satisfaction it promised, Jesus SAVED me.

We talk alot about Law in this forum.

What's the point of having ANY Laws at all if they are not based on absolutes?

And how can we have an absolute if we don't have an external, transcendent TRUTH that's true whether you like it our not, whether you believe it or not, whether you even KNOW it or not?

Why are there no replies to # 68 by Westbrook? Curiouser. Makes too much sense? Hits a raw nerve?

The Marxists-Freudian-Darwinists only respond to old arguments, and, as we have seen, are quick to call others "racists", where it is Darwinists of the past century who defined racism as a science, and Marxists who cleverly expanded the term to include ethnocentrism and just about anything, but to associate the "racist" (that's the cleverness of it) with Dr Mengele. (Look up the term in a dictionary from the 1940s, before you use it next time.)

(Sorry for this interruption. The question above stands.)
